Is this the proper part to use for the CDV delete?

+1 on this. For those that are already out of warranty or soon will be, it is a complete waste of $30-$35. The brake line screws into the clutch slave cylinder without the CDV with no issues at all. A perfect example of "less is more".

+1 on a how-to with pictures. Figured I'd replace my brake fluid while I'm at it.

The only difference will be on the shield you remove to access the transmission. Only need to remove one shield where this write up talks about removing two. Will be pretty obvious once under the car.

I'm sure you can find other references by searching, but this is the guide I used.

One other thing. Not sure if this write up talks about it, but use a c clamp on clutch line to squeeze the line closed just before the valve. It's a good idea or otherwise you'll drain the entire reservoir.
