Open the clutch master cylinder reservoir and empty it. Then open the slave bleeder screw. Pull the clutch handle several times, fluid should come out. It may not be desirable to change or remove all the fluid in one operation as you would then have to remove the unbolt and remove the entire slave cylinder. But if you do unbolt this unit, then you can use a screwdriver to push the piston back as far as it will go o remove fluid that is trapped inside it. Leave the slave cylinder in a hanging position on the hose to drain the fluid as well as you can. Then fasten this unit in its place on the engine. Next step, make sure the fluid reservoir of the master cylinder is full of fluid. Then follow this procedure to bleed the clutch for air:
Press the lever in
Hold lever in
Open the bleeder screw so air can pass out to the vent
Close the bleeder screw
Release the lever
Pump the lever a few times
Hold and press the lever in
Open the bleeder screw for a few moments
Close the bleeder screw again
Release the handle
Wash all areas that come into copntact with the clutch fluid with soap water. You may have to repeat the procedure until there is no air in the system. The top banjo bolt may also be bled. Press the clutch lever in for about three-fourths of the way it will move, hold it back and then open the briefly open the banjo bolt to allow fluid and air to escape, then tighten the banjo bold. You can now release the clutch lever. Be careful not to pump the lever with the bleeder open as you will then cause an airlock in th system and will then have to bleed it again. The same goes for the banjo bolt procedure.
