I did mine nose up on ramps. I didn't have any syringes so i couldn't do it John's way but I reckon it would work. I couldn't get anything through at all at first. I made a cap up with a Schrader valve in it and gave it a little compressed air, but I do mean a little. That got a bit of flow, but lousy pedal. so, I removed the bleeder screw entirely and let it drip, keeping the fluid topped up. Maybe 40 minutes of this and I put the screw back in and had a reasonable pedal so it went for a drive and by the time I got back it was good.
All the above should be seen through the lens of about ten years. Clutch still works, memory I'm not so sure of.
I never understood why it was so recalcitrant. It's not as if I've never bled anything before.
