It should take no more than 10 minutes. The fool-proof Brake Bleeder Economy One-Man, Cal-Van Tools, No. 247, allows one person to bleed brake/clutch systems easily.

Tractor Supply Company. However, I haven't seen it there is several years. Look online and you should be able to run it down. If not, Harbor Freight has a "Brake Bleeder Adaptor & Tubing," #98864, $3.99 that should work:

I haven't tried it, personally, though.

It's important to fill hydraulic clutch reservoirs to the MAX Line, but no further. Overfilling is a sure way to have one fail. I bleed the hydraulic clutch in my Civic every 2 years.
