pump clutch pedal, hold it down, have someone open the bleeder, fluid will come out, close bleeder, release pedal, check fluid level in master cylinder, repeat.

there is a bleeder on both the damper box (if applicable) and the slave cylinder.

You can also do this easily by yourself by getting a 12 inch long piece of 3/8 inch diameter clear tubing to connect to the bleeder screw and running it into a rinsed out soda bottle or something like that. Then you can open the bleeder screw and just keep pumping the clutch and refilling the master cylinder.

Check your clear tubing every couple of cylinder refills for air bubbles.

No more bubbles = your done.
