How do I bleed the clutch from underneath without a pressure bleeder?
Use the car's built-in pressure bleeder, the one the manual
itself tells you to use: A length of hose from the clutch
nipple to the nearest brake nipple and pump the brakes.
Works great.

How to change the hoses and fluid on a 123 with clutch (or without)
When I was working on Heinrich, The 80 240D with the heart transplant
that I am nursing back to health, I noticed the rear brake hose
rubber jacket was coming off.
I had front brake hoses that were a couple inches longer
Over the years I've used, and owned, I believe every brake bleed tool
invented. However, they all are a PITA, don't work as advertised, or cost
way to much.
I've since discovered a method and a simple tool that has worked every time,
on a huge variety of vehicles and lets me bleed brakes or
Aha! Now I remember reading that when you posted it before. I knew
there was a discussion, but I forgot the best part. The oil can! I
probably even have one suitable.

I strongly suggest that you use a clean as new one. For the small price
of a new Pump Oil Can it's not worth contamination of your brake system. If
you have an old one that works well but has oil in it, solvent wash followed
by spray brake cleaner, followed by compressed air should put in to work
A BIC lighter?

Plain old garden hose water, after you rebuild or replace the calipers.
That's plural.

I had the reverse problem one time. I pushed down on the brake and it
went totally soft, almost to the floor. Scared the hell outta me
because I was on the highway at the time doing 70 mph. I got off the
highway onto slower streets, and the problem has never happened
Well, this happened while I was going straight down the highway at
speed. No cornering involved. I've also had times when my brakes would
be piss poor after the car sat for a while. There'd be a good shudder
under braking. I'd drive really carefully on backroads for a while
while applying pressure
Vacuum leaks.

No vacuum assist to the brakes .???

Duh, I've been driving a gasser too long. Have to use the kill lever to
shut the engine off so I've got a vacuum problem with no vacuum to the
brake booster.

I have the same situation, except intermittant. Good boost first time on the
brakes (i.e., in stop go traffic) then suddenly hard pedal and less
stopping power.
Shall follow that link's suggestions after work and see what I find.
