That's called 'reverse bleeding', and that definitely gets the job done to make the clutch operational, but might not remove all air either, depending on system design. That was my last resort, mostly because never thought of an oil can
(didn't want to spend $100+ on a tool I'd probably use once); thanks for the tip. Next time I know exactly what to do, and will take me maybe 5 minutes
. A reverse bleed should be the last resort in case of trouble, as you want crap out of your system, not into it, as it could be the case with it. So bleed your clutch normallly, with either vacuum or pressure -pedal or compressed air-).
Pumping the pedal works, but you have to bring it all the way in before closing valve. The other good news is the system self-purges once you can build some pressure.
