So you are saying it's easy... I wonder what was all that talk about the "bucket of worms..." In your opinion, as a beginner (I have never done clutch flushing, obviously), where am I likely to encounter the most difficulty?
Do you think it feasible to do the clutch flushing procedure without a power bleeder, just by opening up the bleeder valve and letting the fluid out (one-man flush)?
I did it this way a few days ago with the brake line and it worked wonderfully... no problems at all!

Thanks for your input,
Rino
