1. top up your clutch fluid pass the max line.
2. pump the clutch like 5-10 times
3. while pressing the clutch pedal down, open the nipple on the clutch slave cylinder (above the gear box). Some brake fluid will spray out.
4. close the nipple
5. repeat steps 2-4 untill you start to see clean fluid coming out.

put some clear pipe over the nipple so u dont spray that sh*t everywhere... its corrosive and takes off paint

2. pump the clutch like 5-10 times

Although this will work, it will take a lot more time, effort and fluid.
Pumping the clutch will atomise all the large air bubbles, and it will take a lot longer to get rid of it all.

The other way to do is;
get someone to on the driver seat,
get them to press the clutch 1/4 way only, open the nipple on the slave,
press the clutch all the way down, close the nipple before pedal hits the bottom.
You need to talk with the guy on driver seat all the time.
Repeat at least 5 times, and untill all the bubbles disappears.

Final step is actually bleeding the slave cylinder.
Undo the nipple completely. Work with pedal once to get rid of the last air bubbles stuck in the slave. Again, put back the nipple before the pedal hits bottom.
I didnt do this last step, as I think it is too much mucking around.
It waw good enough without it.

Even easier - use a power bleed kit

No need for a pedal pusher at all.

the easiest way is to get your mechanic to do it but I assume kermut wants to do it the cheapest way
