Clutch bleeding

Just curious to know if there is a way to bleed the clutch w/o dismantling my truck. 1991 Ranger 2wd 5-speed Mazda R-1 transmission. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

not sure how similar the '91 is to mine ('98), but on mine if you look up toward the top of the tranny on the driver's side, you can see the bleeder screw. basically bleed it just like brakes...but make extra sure you get all the air out and don't let the clutch master cylinder run dry or you'll have all kinds of headaches.

good luck,
lc

Thanks for your help but I tried that w/a friends '94 and all I did was get drenched w/fluid. I may try again because his cylinder was almost empty and mine is full. When I call a local shop for info they are not much help. Thanks though and I really do appreciate yours and anyone elses responses.
