First fill up the reservoir
Attach a clear tube to the slave cylinder bleed nipple
Open the bleed nipple a couple of turns and let it gravity bleed for a while, once fluid starts coming out the nipple (probably take a couple of minutes) do it up.
This is when you need a second person to be in the car.
Get under the car with the correct spanner (8mm from memory) and undo the nipple half a turn with the spanner this is when you get the second person to push the clutch pedal in.  Once this is done do the bleed nipple up and after its done up let your helper release the pedal.  Once the pedal is fully released you can undo the nipple and repeat the process.  Keep doing it until no air bubbles can be seen coming out of the cylinder through the plastic tube.

And that's it, but make sure you keep the reservoir fluid level topped  up while you are pumping fluid out  because if you suck it dry you will have to start all over again
good luck!
