Push in clutch pedal and hold.
Release bleeder fitting.
Close bleeder fitting.
Release clutch pedal.
Repeat the above cycles until clean fluid starts to come out of bleeder fitting. Keep an eye on fluid level in reservoir and refill as necessary. A second person can be helpful here.
BTW, do NOT "pump" the pedal. Just push it straight down all the way.

Using turkey baster, remove all old fluid from the reservoir. Fill with fresh.

I've had several occasions to wish for a remote clutch bleeder. My near term plans (among other things) call for the addition of one.

I do most of the steps listed above except I use a Mity Vac to pull 28" of vacuum with it connected to the bleed line. Open the bleed valve, bleed down and close the bleed line around 10" of vacuum. You can see the fluid in the vacuum line turn from dirty to clean with a few bleed cycles. I also use a second person to randomly pump the slave while I bleed it. This way you don't have to syncronize the pumping and bleeding. You can get a Mity Vac for about $30 or $40 at most auto parts stores.

So with a Vac do you need to push the clutch in at all during the bleed process?
