(Home) Clutch, bleeding, Spacecruiser, and offside bodywork side panel

Hi,can you be a tad more specific on how to bleed a clutch,and is it necessary to bleed the load balancing valve bit also.Sorry for vagueness but we are totally blind here where the spacecruiser is concerned.We have ordered a Tarago manual from OZ but until then well we're at your mercy.
Oh yes also we've got an offside side panel still in cardboard,Is it worth much?

You can bleed the clutch in isolation. The bleed nipple is on the slave cylinder that is attached to the bell housing.
The load sensing valve may need bleeding to remove air (sponginess)in the rear of the brake system - it is nothing to do with the clutch - it balances the load (pressure) to the rear brakes.
Inside or outside panel?

It is an outside panel.It is sitting in my back garden in cardboard wrapped in polythene.To be perfectly honest I haven't even unwrapped it since buying it so it could be a squashed elephant in there but I doubt it

If you are talking about the entire drivers side from the drivers door to the tailgate? Toyota sell them for £1,400 plus vat!
