hey you guys, relax...
Bleeding is piece of cake, a one person job. The last two times I did this (details later) the fluid flowed out easily. Just open the cock and there it comes, bubbles first. Couldn't be easier. Keep the reservoir filled !!!
The plastic cover will rotate towards the driver's side after you get that heavy starter calbe moved aisde.
Now the story...I did this job twice the last time. I butchered the transmission oil seal while replacing it and was losing a quart of oil every week, so had the enviable opportunity to do the entire clutch removal/replacement twice within 3 weeks. Complain all you want. Maybe someone will feel sorry for you. Not me.

By the way, a perfect ring tool to use for holding the pressure plate under tension is a piece of either 6 or 8 gauge solid copper wire. Find it in the plumbing or electrical section of your home improvement store. Buy 2 or 3 feet and cut two pieces that span half a circle on the pressure plate. It is solid, holds great and plenty maleable so its easy to work with.
