You do not, use syringe and remov as much as possible that way. Continue to do that you can get most of it removed.

There's a fitting on the side of the slave unit. It's a pain to get to but it is doable. I did mine and when I tightened the fitting it leaked because it was cross threaded from the factory. I managed to retap the threads and install a Katech remote bleeder. I'm telling you all this because it probably is easier to do the ranger method that you can find on the forum. I wasn't satisfied with that so i used the remote bleeder from Katech. My personal opinion is that it's much better to flush completely but a lot of people here think the ranger method is just as good.

It's really tough installing the remote bleeder. Be careful. If you drop the fitting in the bellhousing you may not be able to get it out without pulling the motor. I didn't have a choice because mine was leaking.

I saved myself the hassle and pay the dealer $90 to flush the system every other year. The Ranger method does nothing about the sludge down inside the slave and only exchanges the fluid in the reservoir.
