replacing it is a one man job, bleedin will require one more person to make things easier.

Bleeding is simple. Just tell your wife to pump on the clutch and hold thats all you gotta do pump 3-5 times and hold the pedal down. Bleed the line and tell her to do the samething till there is no air in the lines thats it.

the clutch wont build pressure like the brake system will so pumping it will just make your leg tired. You can just tell her to hold it down, bleed it, close it, release the clutch, repeat. Oh dont forget to refill your fluid about every 2 times.

Easy. Hour and a half tops... and thats if youre drinking heavily (took me about 30 min I think). I did mine all by my lonesome... I just routed a hose out of the bleed valve to somewhere where I could see it from the drivers seat.
