The reason why I prefer a pressure bleeder is because a pressure bleeder will FILL the brake resivior with new fluid. When you are bleeding the clutch the last thing you want is to run the res out of fluid and introduce air into the hydraulic lines. THEN you got real work on your hands. In order to get the air out of the clutch lines.

The speed bleeder are a good idea. That might be a good solution for ppl who break the bleed nipple too. Since the bleed nipple only comes with the entire slave cylinder.

As for space... go look at my past photos in this thread. Just look back a few pages. You will see the working room/space is pretty tight under there. That is why I recommend you have a "few" 12 point 11mm wrenches - to get at the roght angle to open close that darn bleed nipple.
