Want help?
Search for it...it's been covered.

But anyways, the slave cylinder has a one way check valve.

Open the 8mm on the slave, pump pedal two to three times slowly,
add fluid in resivoir. Repeat. No need to open and close the 8mm like brakes.
This is from the Helms manual.

1. Make sure resivior is full
2. Pump clutch, slowly, wait 2 seconds after every pump. Do 4-8 times. Hold clutch pedal as hard as you can.
3. Have friend (whomever) open bleed screw on slave cylinder (8mm) until all the fluid comes out.
4. Close bleed screw
5. Release pressure from clutch pedal
6. Repeat, as many times as you want, to get clean fluid and all air bubbles removed.

According to the Helms, bleeding the clutch is nothing like bleeding the brakes.

1. Put a hose on the bleeder at the slave cylnder. put end of hose in an empty bottle.
2.Crack open bleeder.
3. Uncap clutch resiviour, make sure it is full.
4. Slowly pump and pull the clutch pedal with your hand. This will pump fluid through sytsem.
5. Keep an eye on the resiviour, dont let it go below the empty line. You should need to add fluid every 5 to 8 pump strokes.
6. Keep pumping and filling till you see no air come out of the hose on the bleeder.
7. Close bleeder.
8. Test clutch pedal.
