    The only way to bleed a mercedes clutch is reverse. I got a large syringe from a chemist, and plastic tubing, easy to attach to bleed nipple on slave cylinder, loosen and push slowly up. be careful about overflow from the master cylinder. its actually easier to do when youre on your own.

    Hey Daz,,,
    If I were to gravity bleed, does it still matter where I start?

    If you want to renew the fluid by gravity open the nipples one by one in the correct order just dont let the tank get empty
