I found the bleeder stem where it goes into the clutch/tranny....any hints to make this as painless as possible? Or am I gonna get mad and swear before I get it done? Any help would be great....TIA for an 1986 4kcsq

Least it wasn't for me.
There is a bleeder on the slave cylinder (mounted on top of the trans). Stick a piece of hose on it to drain into a container. Open it up. Let gravity take its course (may take several minutes; bring a book...Bentley is a good choice). When fluid starts to come out, and it eventually will, get your buddy/wife/girlfriend/mommy and do the bleeding thing:
Close bleeder
Have helper apply pressure to pedal
Open bleeder, drain bubbles, close bleeder
Pedal up, repeat

Mine got pressure very quickly.

I'd like to change my brak fluid. I'm afraid of breaking off the bleeder screw because it looks like the tiny fragile ones on the back wheel cylinders, and any time I've gone near those they are ceased and twisted right off before I realize it.
