You just need to un-bolt it from the interior-side of the firewall. Then, it'll drop down under the Brake Master Cylinder and you can pull it right out.

Alright, here's what I got for a picture. The highlighted 3 parts are what keep your Clutch Master Cylinder attached internally.

I removed the Pin first, then the two nuts, and it slid right out.

I needed 2 people for this. One person sat in the driver's seat, pressing the pedal down/up, while I used my finger to control the the pressure on the line.

Basically, I loosened up the bleeder valve on the slave cylinder, then put my finger on the bleed hole. I had the person inside depress the clutch pedal all the way down, and hold the pedal down as far as they could. Then, I released pressure on my finger slightly, to release the air. I then reapplied my finger, and had the driver release the clutch, allowing no air to seep into the line. I repeated this process until my finger was being forced off of the slave cylinder bleed valve, by the fluid pressure. (This gets messy)

is the bleeder valve for the clutch located in front of the engine, next to/on the transmission?

i've been trying to find out where the bleeder valve is for some time.

Thanks!

On the nose-end of the transmission, there is a slave cylinder. The bleed valve is on it.
