On both my 560 and my 4.5 there is no way to use a C clamp to retract the caliper pistons. You have to use the MB tool or a big azz pair of channel locks.

Also, the fluid does look clear when it is shooting out of the bleeder, next time put a clear line on the bleeder and catch the fluid in a clear jar, it'll look like what is pictured.
