Clutch Bleed 200 1988

Hi Folks

After replacing the clutch I need to bleed the clutch system. Does anyone know if the old fashioned pump-the-pedal, open/close the valve method will work or not? We had the clutch actuator arm sh*t itself and jam the clutch in the depressed state, which leaked fluid from the MC. I replaced the MC with a good second hand unit. I'm not sure if the SC is knackered or not. Thus - do I need a special technique to bleed the clutch with, or is it straight forward?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Mark

Is this an after market way to operate the clutch?

I am not aware that Volvo made cars a hydraulic Master and Slave Cylinders. I have only used a cable system.

It is fairly straightforward but feels different than the brake - won't "pump up" much.
Be sure and hold the pedal down until the bleeder valve is closed.
