No. You don't need to bleed the clutch if you're just doing the brakes.

Sorry. Only ever driven a manual Omega once .... & that was a BMW version!  ;)

Bleed nipple for clutch is on side of gearbox.

If you want to bleed the clutch the only way is a reverse pressure bleed. Conventional bleed will not remove the air. Probably worth starting out normally just to push the dirt out of the nipple rather than back into the system and reservoir though.

Very easy to get to. Just poke your head under the car.
