completed CDV removal in less than 1 hour..,
Using the pictorial write ups of Elistan, billman250, and SIIK2NR, I completed the clutch delay valve removal in less than an hour (removal + bled clutch on my own).
As mentioned by most that have completed this, the C-clip was a PITA! After wrestling with it for approx. 10 min, I did something kumar75150 recommended. I used a 1/16 drill bit to drill a hole right at the clip. Using the pick, I pushed the clip up, which allowed me to slide the pick under the clip for a quick removal.
After reassembling the slave, I used a little grease to fill in the hole to keep dirt, water, etc. out.
Then, when I bled the clutch, I used a "one-man" bleed method described to me by Hockey. Using a longer drain tube, you make a loop from the bleeder. Since the tubing is going UP, fluid is collected in the tubing keeping air from entering.
Quick recap of the procedure: attach tubing -> create loop -> open reservoir (fill if necessary from removing slave) -> open bleeder -> pump clutch with hand 4 times (raise clutch to up position) -> fill reservoir -> repeat 3 to 4 times should be adeduate to remove all air and flush system. Fill reservoir, close cap, close bleeder...pump clutch, and check fluid once more, check for leaks...all done! Complete only takes less than 10 mins.
I had to do mine twice, as I was cleaning up, I found a washer that goes on the banjo that I missed. After reinstalling it, I rebled - took about 5 mins.
Driving impressions: Much easier to drive, more responsive...however, I can't really drive my car too hard as my new clutch only as 100 mi on it.
Here is a pic of the hole, already reassembled with grease put in:
