I don't buy into contaminates going up the line in a sealed system. IMO
Whatever is in the line belongs there. I only bleed to remove air, or any
time a section of the system is opened for repair.
If ya open the bleeder ya won't need the C clamp. I use to do that in
the early years until I figured it a useless/messy step, for changing pads.
