Hydraulic clutch help

How do you bleed a hydraulic clutch in an 87 firebird? I read somewhere that hydraulic clutches are a pain in the ***... lol

Hmm...
A simple 'Google image' search shows some of the slaves available 'so you can see what they look like and the bleeder screw'.

Some have bleeders and some don't like my T56 slave has no bleeder. To see how to bleed a simple 'Youtube' search finds thousands of video's showing how to bleed different slaves. My T56 slave has no bleeder screw so i found this video...

The internet is a tool like any other in your toolbox!!!
