Default Bleeding clutch fluid video?

Anyone know of a good video showing how to bleed the clutch fluid from under the car at the bleeder valve? All I could find on YouTube was a guy sucking it out of the reservoir with a turkey baster. I know that isn't going to get the old crap out in the bell housing area where I have read it can collect and not circulate.

I would like to see that too, although there is so little space there I imagine any video could only show an arm contourted around the torque tube and someone yelling expletives as brake fluid ran down their arm!!

I did not enjoy that procedure

I've read about guys pulling the intake manifold and getting to the bleeder from the top. Less work than pulling the exhaust and tunnel plate. The ranger method works for many people here on the forum. You just have to do it many times until the clutch fluid is clean. The website below has a lot of good information about clutch care.
