"clutch" bleeding, as opposed to "brake" bleeding, which is what I'm trying
to find out about. :)

[I can't remember whether you need to actuate the clutch pedal to do this
or not (using the pressure bleeder), but it's pretty simple.

No it's not necessary - the pressure bleeder will force the air out. I
think the procedure is to do this first, before the brake sequence. If I
recall it goes: clutch, master cyl. fittings(if replaced), right rear, left
rear, right front, left front. Consult the manual, of course.
Just did the '87 pearl avant with ATE Super Blue and a new MC. The old
fluid and master cyl. were causing the brakes to hang when the car got hot.
What a difference!
