    On a more helpful note from my og response... just get the right size wrench. You don't need to go uber tight. It's plastic. Treat it as such. I've messed with mine like 30 times. No issues.

    I reckon that you'd need somebody WITH BRAIN to help you since somebody would have to hand-compress the slave while operating the bleeder (the compression part comes "Free" with it being actively compressed by PP) when you're using clutch pedal (don't trust anybody with this task lol). However, one wrong move with bleeder closed and the slave will eject the piston since there is nothing to stop it - it will be ruined.

    And there is no easy way to verify if the clutch is bled properly anyway since to do that you'd have to reinstall it and work the clutch.

    Just loosen the bleed screw before you install it into the transmission with the slave line removed. Trying to put the slave back into the transmission with the line attached just makes things harder for you.
