> BTW-if you don't want to go crazy and do the double bleed, just suck the old fluid out of the master cylinder before you bleed the clutch. This will draw the clean fluid into the drivers caliper and through the clutch system. The old fluid goes back into the master cylinder. Suck this fluid out a!
> gain, add new fluid. Now, your clutch is bled.

Since the old fluid gets to the reservoir via a simple cloth covered
hose, doing the brakes first and then doing the clutch with that hose
*disconnected* and draining into a separate container, while refilling
the reservoir with clean fluid as you reverse bleed the clutch, will
stop the endless recycling of dirty fluid.

Obviously, the reservoir outlet for the clutch will have to be capped
while the hose is off.
