Hydraulic clutch System

Hi,
I'm struggling to bleed the clutch system.
I'm on my own mind. Any tips, pedal is not as firm as it should be and it is difficult to get into first.

Any tips?

I was thinking of using an oil can and reverse bleeding it?

1978 F100.

Thanks,

It would help if you posted the application (model, year, transmission, clutch setup). I don't know if any '73-79 ran hydraulic clutches from the factory but don't think so.

The retro-fit hydraulic clutch on my hotrod has its own quirks but may not be relevant to your situation... so need to know what you are starting with.

Yes, sorry my bad.
Its been a week of jumping hoops.

So, it could be an aftermarket clutch?

No hydraulic clutches in a stock F-100 through F-350 dent side fords as far as I know. I am guessing you have a 5 speed swap in your truck. Pictures would help us figure out what you are working with.
