Can this type of hydraulic system be reverse bled?

[Vyse]

I have an unused oil can so thought I would give the reverse bleed method a go as people deem it easier than the traditional method. Plus largely because I am on my own.

Thing is my hydraulic setup is like this.



The reasoning behind the reverse bleed method is that air bubbles like to rise rather than be forced downwards. However due to the way my master cylinder is (circled in green) would any air bubbles going through the system not get trapped at the top of the master as the line to the reservoir is below it?

Thanks

Indeed, the MC position is as it is show in the image.

I got one of these recently, hopefully it will do a similar job.

This is the 3rd time I am bleeding the clutch. The first using two person method, second with the slave off the engine and with the piston blocked. My gear changes dont feel completely smooth despite having a new clutch fitted. I get a slight grind/notchiness in most gears and worse in warmer weather.

I seen youtube vids recommending using a oil can for the reverse method. Surely the both the oil can and syringe can push fluid.

It wont even come close. You can only push fluid with that

Afraid they dont make a cap that fits the 8th gen Honda.
