If the car is unknown, I would definitely bleed the clutch, just in case. What will be an all day job could be resolved in 30mins.

I would buy the correct socket for the driveshaft as it will be easier to remove that than the whole hub, although that is do-able.
whats the nut size, I do have some large sockets, I agree it would be easier to pull the driveshaft, but if I find I haven't got that socket, I'm not going to mess about either, waiting for one to arrive or going up to my local shop, that might not even have it, I will bleed the clutch tomorrow , should I bleed the slave first, or the master first, or does it not matter as you say, I could spend all day, and probably much of the next day, renewing the clutch to find its a fluid issue.
