same way you bleed your brakes.

Pump 3 times, open bleeder, close bleeder, pull pedal up off floor. Not too fast so the clutch MC can fill from the resivoir. KEEP a close eye pn the fluid level, it will drop faster than you think, leaving you to do everything all over AGAIN

Use 2 people. Leave the lid off, pump a few times, release the bolt slightly, tighten, pump again, realease the bolt slightly so the fluid sprays out. Repeat until you get a nice spray when losening the bolt. It should not be a dribble or whatever. Like i said, use 2 people, it goes much quicker. Also refill as necessary when pumping because the fluid level will drop.

Use a cup or something to catch the DOT3 fluid so it doesnt get everywhere also.
