Default gravity bleeding???

i need to flush out my clutch fluid. i heard of the "gravity" way of doing it.

how exactly is this done? do i just open the valve, keep pouring new fluid into the clutch reservoir, and itll just keep flowing down by itself until the new fluid comes out???

Less than a pint to do the flush, it won't get out all the fluid but it will put more clean fluid in the system.
