Just did this the other day. Your clutch fluid does have to be changed. It gets nasty. Wink lives near you and the tech day is the 28th of March. I can help you if you want.

He's right down the street from you now at Route 59 and I-90.
The Brakes should take about 10 minutes to bleed. |

usually all you need is a wrench, correct brake fluid and some clear tubing to attach to the nipple on your calipers
