Um, Michael, sounds like you're bleeding your brakes, we've got a clutch
here, but don't ask . . . .

Top off the cylinder.

Pump the pedal several times,

hold it down.

Open the bleed screw, let it squirt.

refill the cylinder.

Do it all over again until the pedal is firm and stops where you think it
should.

If you let the cylinder run dry and air into the system, you have to start
over.

One wheel at a time.

Have fun, have rags standing by.

Never use a Styrofoam cup.

Don't ask.
