Because I'm a nice guy(and somewhat of a post whore) I'll give you the basics. There is a bleeder screw on the slave cylinder, you need 2 people, if you know how to bleed brakes its the same concept. One person presses the clutch and the other opens the bleeder and you repeat untill its bled

If you know where your clutch slave cylinder is, there is a nipple on there.

Get yourself a piece of vac house and a plastic bottle. Cut a hole in the top of that bottle and stuff the hose down in there. Fill the bottle with brake/clutch fluid. Make sure the end of the hose is submerged in the fluid.
Take a wrench. I think it's either an 8 or a 10 mm. Loosen up that bolt on there and have someone push the clutch in, some dark fluid will flow into the bottle, then Tighten the bolt and have them release or pull up on the clutch. This will pull fluid in from the resevoir. Repeat this three times(loosen the bolt, push the clutch, tighten the bolt, pull the clutch back out) than check the clutch fluid resevoir and refill.

Keep doing this until the there are no bubbles coming out when they push the clutch in anymore, and the fluid coming out of the hose is no longer dirty as shit.

I don't know how else to explain it.

When someone suggest searching, it is because we know that the question you have asked has already been answered before. To answer a question like this properly takes many words, why should we have to retype it everytime someone needs to know just because they can't or won't operate the search function?

I clicked on "search" at the top of each page.
Selected "bleed clutch" as the search terms.
Entered my username. Optional, but I know I posted in a couple of these threads, so it narrows it down to the ones I posted in.
Selected the Eclipse forum, including Performance and Problem Diagnosis.
Click on "Search"

BAM!! Got several sweet threads.

Here is one that talks about clutch rod and throttle cable adjustment, important reading when bleeding the clutch, since many people cover up a bad bleeding job with an innappropriate rod adjustment:

This one includes a tip of mine to make sure the car is level when doing this job:

And finally the bulk info you requested is found here:

That took me 2 minutes using the search feature, or approximately no where fucking near how long it took me to post all of that info. Enjoy

more good stuff (clicky) Here it is again, when I asked about it a year ago. There's also some info on throttle cable adjustment there. You also get to see EclipseRST in detective mode.
