Thanks, all, for the reassurance.  Great instructions, Joel.  Definitely a
do-able job for me - nothing like saving a buck or two hundred. (to Jim:
yes, it's the master, not slave that's leaking)  But I think I'll replace
the slave as well, per recommendation.

Just a couple quick questions...

I found more info on the procedure here:
http://www.type2.com/bartnik/clutchmaster.htm

It outlines a more involved clutch bleeding process than what Joel describes
(more like brake breeding), including bleeding master first, then slave.  Is
this truly not necessary?

Also, about how much brake fluid should I be prepared with?  DOT 4 is fine?

Thanks again,

James
