How to bleed clutch fluid

Looking for suggestions on a one-man way to bleed clutch fluid... I've gotten kind of frustrated with the v
acuum type like this acuum type like this
.

I'd prefer
positive pressure type (like Motive) positive pressure type (like Motive)
but I don't think there are any that fit our clutch reservoirs. Pls make some suggestions.

thanks.

Just use the classic vacuum tube to a Mason jar two person process.
- but first make sure your bleed port is clear to pass fluid when bleed screw is opened.
- went through an 05 after purchase and there was so much hardened crud, had to remove and disassemble slave cylinder to clean out.

Also had bad luck with vacuum type bleeder. You might be able to fabricate a cap for a positive pressure method as it really doesn't need to seal for very high pressure. In the end I just went back to the two person process as racerock suggests.
You may want to limit the slave movement as described in this scan from the SM
