Steve, I purchased a commercial type plastic syringe at a local medical supply store to draw the fluid out. Then you replace the fluid in the reservoir and pump the clutch about 30 times and repeat the process until the fluid is clear/clean. (usually two or three more cycles) Takes about 10 minutes and works great.

What Corvette year model was the first for a hydraulic clutch? 1984? A large capacity syringe is also available at my local farmers CO-OP.

I have a kit in a plastic box I carry in the back storage compartment of the 2008. Syringe, a can (yes, it is metal) of GM brake fluid, and some paper towels. I give tutorials on the Road tour. Easy to do at the end of the driving day. It only takes a couple of minutes, and the next day i get the 30 pushes of the pedal as we go down the road.
