[Mgs] How to change clutch hose on a '71 MGB?

[mgbob at juno.com]

  It is not a difficult job. Here is how I do it:
  Disconnect the battery -- starter wire in in close proximity to wrenches.
  Lay a piece of saran wrap/plastic film on the MC filler opening; screw down
the cap
  Cut off the old hose
  Remove the slave cylinder with hose end
  Disconnect hose to metal tube end
  Install new hose on the slave cylinder
  "offer up" the new hose to the metal tube end and fasten
  Bolt up slave cylinder.
  Bleed the system
     remove the plastic film
    use a cable tie to hold slave pushrod fully into the slave cylinder.
    do the usual bleeding procedure
    connect the slave cylinder to the clutch lever.

What does it take to change the clutch hose on a '71 MGB? Can it be done
without removing the starter? (Hopefully not the engine!)
