About to bleed brakes / clutch. I haven’t bled a clutch before - I’m assuming basically the same procedure as bleeding brakes? I believe this is the clutch bleed screw? 
newb here 🙋🏻‍♂️

Thanks!!

Yep - that's it.

....Same process as the brakes.

Not related to bleeding the clutch, but for what it's worth I learned from someone that had plenty of experience, that when bleeding the brakes it pays to depress the clutch pedal all the way to the firewall during the process.

This is because if you don't then the brake balance adjustment cable can come into contact with the clutch pedal (vertical support for the pedal itself), and this can damage the cable by putting a kink in it.

This doesn't happen when you're driving the car normally because the brake pedal doesn't move much (compared to during the bleeding process when it can move quite a lot while you are expelling the fluid/air out of the system)
