bleeding a clutch

[USMC240]

how do you bleed a clutch, i need to know. And if any one here has done it on a ford truck, your experience would be appreciated.

I think most fords (all of them that I know of) use a mechanical clutch. No bleeding.
If it does use a hydraulic clutch is easy to bleed. take a length of silicone hose (air hose from an aquarium will work) and fill a jar with brake fluid.
run the hose into the jar. loosen the bleeder fitting, have a friend pump the clutch, tighten it, let them release the clutch, and repeat that until no air comes out.

vacuum pump like $20 at parts store saves a lot of time and energy

its a waste of 20 bucks imo.
