Bleeding my Clutch...

Okay, so I finally got it working. I tried as many of you suggested to reverse bleed it, so I got a long length of clear tubing, some brake fluid and a ball pump, filled up the tub after connecting it to the bleeder valve, and then pumped air into the tube thereby forceing the fluid up through the line. Worked like a charm. I drove it around a bunch, and deemed it worthy to drive it to school this week (roughly 90 miles from home). But when I got about half way I pushed the clutch pedal down and it went all the way to the ground. The bar for the master that attaches to the pedal was bent in half. Oh yeah, what I neglected to mention was that I took my truck to school instead of my honda because I wanted to bring my tools to school. So I get out my BFH, a butane torch and a pair of channel locks and start to straighten the bar out. I work on it a bunch and get it to work a couple of times, but always after a few shifts it just bends again. So I try it one more time (oh yeah it was early evening on a Sunday in a small town, so nothing was really open except McDonalds and the Shell station) and this time after getting it straight I get a couple of drill bits and 3 hose clamps and support the bar from the outside. I try it again and it shifts perfectly. It got me the rest of the way to school! Any ways just thought you guys should know that I got it done and how the maiden voyage went. Thanks again for your help!
