I don't know the setup on a jeep, but I just j
bled the clutch master and slave on my 85 GMC
on the truck , the resevoir is separate and a little
above the master cyl., connected with a hose. I bought a cheap weed plastic weed sprayer a gallon
of brake fluid, took off the nozzle and connected
the sprayer in place of the resevoir/Put the fluid in the sprayer, Pumped it up
a little, crawled under the truck , put a hose from
the bleeder into a jar,open the bleeder and let it
flow til no more air bubbles appear. Not expensive
pressure tool but works fine. Neighbor has the expensive tool, it has a pressure gauge.

You could have "reverse bled" it with that system, too, by simply connecting the line from the sprayer to the bleeder on the slave cylinder, and forcing the air and fluid upwards into the master cylinder, and on into the reservoir.

That is the recommended procedure with several newer vehicles that I have worked on, and should work with nearly ANY hydraulic clutch. It really seems to get the air out well to reverse bleed these systems.

Bob has a great suggestion. There is rather expensive equipment available that pumps fluid in at the cylinder. I had a Dodge that would bleed itself overnight. Leave the bleed screw tight, fill the master cylinder, wait till morning. The air had worked up through the piping during the night.

Simple way to bleed a hydraulic clutch, if you don't have a power bleeder... connect a small hose to the bleeder on the SLAVE cylinder.

Connect the other end of the hose to a funnel, or a small nipple soldered into the bottom of a tin can.

Support the funnel or can several feet higher than the top of the MASTER cylinder.

Pour brake fluid into the can or funnel, until the slave cylinder is filled, and then the air is pushed up and out the master cylinder. When the new fluid reaches the master cylinder, and fills the reservoir, you're done... all the air is out, and the hydraulic clutch system is bled.

It's a simple, one-man job!

The way we always did it was to use 2 people. One to pump up the cltch pedel and one to bleed the slave cylinder. You pump it up say 5 times and then hold the pedal down and open to bleed screw on the slave cylinder. Do that 2-3 times keeping and eye on the fluid level. That should be all you need to do unless you have other problems
