There are no provisions for them on the clutch hydraulic system that I've seen.

Check out these pics for reference:

The fastest way to do it with it still on the car would be a vacuum bleeder on the reservoir.

The hydrolic throw-out bearing in the photo (some call it a slave,the C-5 does not have one) can be bleed from the fitting seen in the photo.The fitting exits the bell housing,and you have to remove the H pipe to access it...

ZAP, buy a battery suction bulb, and a couple of cans of Valvoline Synpower.......suck out the old, wipe out the resevoir........and fill er' up......repeat as often as neccessary........(this remedy to clutch issues brought to you courtesy of Ranger)..........
As soon as the fluid starts turning DARK, get it out........it's is fried......... :mad :eek: :rolleyes:
