I dont change it every 2 years . I test it if its no good then I change it using a vacuum system normally I use the last nipple on the line jack the car up high at that point as to make sure any air if any will rise to that highest point then draw out the fluid while someone keeps there eye on the fluid bowl and putting clean fluid in when I see clean my end then i nip up the nipple tell my helper to stop pouring and that its

As for the clutch when I did my Picasso that was gravity and keeping sharp eye on the fluid bowl to once clean ran out into the jar that was it push the pipe back into place then clip back in . Several ways for several differnt aspects of the bleed process, what was your way , 2 man , one man with the one way valve kit , gravity or up in the air and bleed one out , the old way of doing the last on line was told to me by a chap Royston Carey who own a shop called 4u2fit when I was a teenager he was once a well know ralley driver
