Ranger Clutch Fluid Change procedure?

It takes a while, but I can do it by myself.

I typically ask my wife (or helper) to help pump the clutch pedal while I'm down at the bleeder valve though - it's much faster than the gravity bleed process.

And yes, I can confirm there is no return line or clutch fluid circulation in the Z. Definitely want to do a bleed if the fluid is looking bad - dirty fluid can cause internal seals to fail (typically on the master).
