Exclamation clutch

when i push the clutch my truck won't let me put it into gear so I thought that I might need to bleed the system since when I was going to change master cylinder and I disconnected the hydraulic line from the slave cylinder no fluid came out.

now here is my question I have a stuborn brother and not really anyone else too help me so I was wandering if it was possible to bleed the clutch system on your own lonesome self. like can I just open the cap and the bleeder valve and let gravity do the work, or what.

also when I had someone push the clutch I saw the slave cylinder move that is why I also think that there is air in the system

Yes, you can, if you backbleed it. Take the cap off the master cylinder, get a pump style oil can, fill it with fluid, connect it to the bleeder screw with a rubber hose, loosen the bleeder screw, and start pumping the oil can.
