Default Bleeding clutch

Can anyone explain how to bleed the clutch hydraulic system. I did a search and came up empty. The car is a 86. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

Make sure master is full
Remove slave and hold at about 45* angle (bleeder screw at highest point)
Have someone depress clutch. While fully depressed, open bleeder screw, let air+fluid out then close bleeder. Then tell them to release the pedal.
Repeat 4 or 5 times till nothing but clean airless fluid comes out.
