Replacing Clutch Fluid

[SamDC5]

I'm looking to replace my clutch fluid as it seems as though it's never been replaced in its life, it looks black and is reading 4% water content. What is the best way to access the slave cylinder as it looks a tight fit?

Also interested to know this as i need to do the same.

I just removed the air filter and intake pipe for access.
Then get a piece of pipe long enough to fit over the bleed nipple and down to a jar on the floor.
You will need a small ring spanner, although I can't remember which size, maybe 8 or 10mm.
The nipple only needs to be opened half a turn or so and it can be done, just a little bit fiddly for your hand access.
After that it's just the standard procedure, fill the jar with some fluid so the pipe doesn't draw air back up, clutch pedal down, open nipple, close nipple, pedal back up. Make sure the reservoir stays full and the pipe stays in the jar.

You might have more effect by pumping the pedal a few times between each nipple opening to ensure the air is fully pushed through.
