thank you... that's for the caliper though. Remember the hose needed for the clutch bleed needs to be a little smaller. I'll include those numbers in the brake diy.

Works great. Even though it's a pain in the ass to get under the car and find this bleeder. I was worried I wasn't going to catch it quick enough and drain my entire CMC. Best with two people. And since there's not much room for a hose to fit down there right, I got the amazing opportunity to try some ATE superblue in my mouth.

I had to chase it out with water, but it was a little numb after.

is there any benefit from doing it this way versus sucking the fluid out, topping off with new, pumping clutch, and repeating till all new fluid is in there??

Yes, actually. You wouldn't do the same with the brakes would you? This allows the brake fluid to be completely flushed out, apposed to being mixed in.

Why are you using brake fluid to drain your clutch reservoir? I know they are basically the same thing, but wouldn't it be more efficient to use a special clutch fluid?
