The brakes and clutch share a common reservoir, so it kinda defeats the purpose of changing the fluid if you don't completely bleed the entire system. I have the Motive Black Label power bleeder - worth every penny and then some.

I didn't find the clutch slave difficult to get at with the car up on jack stands, but I was just bleeding it, not changing it. Put some clear vinyl tubing on it before you crack it open so you don't make a mess.
