Replacing master cylinder and fluid reservoir.... do I need to bleed my clutch now?
Preparing for reassembly next week.
I removed the master cylinder and fluid reservoir to replace them. I disconnected the clutch feed at the reservoir only and haven't touched the pedal or anything else clutch hydraulic related. Do I need to plan on bleeding the clutch once I reinstall everything?

Yes, anytime you "open" the system you need to bleed it.

Meant to say I removed the BRAKE master cylinder, not the clutch. Still need to bleed the clutch since I pulled the clutch hose off the reservoir?

You should be Ok.
As long as the fluid wasn't drained out of the hose down to the clutch master you then it didn't get into the cylinder. Any bubbles in that tube will rise up to the reservoir if you tap/shake the hose. But... How long has it been since you bled the clutch system? If it has been 2 years or more you are due anyway.

it never hurts to bleed some old fluid out. gets rid of the moisture and will make the entire system last longer.
