Yes, if you can do it correctly, it'll probably extend the life of your CSC. If you can't, you won't be able to engage gears. I don't know your skill level, so weigh that for yourself.

In this case I would recommend a simple gravity bleed on the clutch. Ranger method the fluid in the reservoir and make sure it's topped off. Then open the bleed valve and let it drain. It will be slow. Let the reservoir drain until it is near the bottom (DO NOT LET IT EMPTY OR AIR WILL ENTER THE SYSTEM) and then close the bleed valve and top off the reservoir again. A single reservoir drain may not do the entire clutch system, but it will be close. Repeat the drain process again if you want to be sure.

If the seals are also going out in the master cylinder, it is my experience that pumping the clutch pedal makes the bleeding process more difficult and not easier like it should.
