Default Brake Bleeding 96 C2

I have a Motive power bleeder and I'm pretty experienced with using it (but never on my 993). I've read various info about needing to bleed a special ABS valve as well as the 8 caliper bleed valves. Is this only necessary if I'm flushing the entire system only (can I just bleed the calipers if I'm not going to do a complete flush)? Is it necessary to bleed the clutch at the same time as a complete flusing of the brakes?

Many thanks!

Grant, I have the same car and have bled my brakes several times. Always do the clutch, as long as you have it all hooked up. You just need to do the 8 calipers nipples and the one clutch. That's it.

Good advice,....

You do not need the Hammer to bleed brakes unless you run the ABS unit dry.
