Ron,
You bleed a clutch the same way you bleed brakes. The bleed valve
(screw) is in the Slave Cylinder which is mounted on the lower left side
of the engine/transmission. Just follow the line from inside the engine
and it will be right next to the flexable hose. It helps if you have
someone handy to pump the clutch pedal or if you have a pump.
Since you are on your back and in the slave cylinder area, remove the
dust cover from the cylinder and check for crud. The last time I did the
bleed, there was a ton of road crud under that cover, inside the
cylinder. I removed the cylinder, cleaned and replaced the seal and
cover. Made for a very happy clutch!
