You can use a turkey baster to suck as much of the old fluid from the master as you can then just bleed out via the bleed fitting while keeping the master full with fresh fluid.

Here's the way I did it:
1. Have someone sit inside the car
2. Open the bleeder valve located above the fluid line that goes into the driver side of the bellhousing.
3. Have your assistant slowly push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and HOLD it there.
4. Close the bleeder valve completely.
5. Once the valve is closed, have your assistand release the pedal. (Note: Failure to completely close the valve will introduce air into the system making the process longer).
5. Once the pedal is completely released repeat steps 2-5.
Check fluid level in reservior once every three rotations of steps 2-5.
It's as easy as that. Good Luck!

sure. But the bleeder is nothing like a brake bleeder. If you put tubing on it, how will you get a wrench on it. I don’t get why they didn’t extend it a little further and put a regular bleeder on it. I need to swap my fluid because it’s dirty and contaminated.

The Ranger method or syringe/turkey baster. Do it one time with several flushes...then once a year to keep it clean. This guy races Corvettes and knows about dirty clutch fluid.

No reason to have to mess with bleeder valves or put holes in your floor. A good regimen to start from day one.
