Its really too early on Sunday morning for this but....my way, remove the oil filter so you have access to the clutch slave cylinder. Aquire a four or five foot long piece of vac tube that will fit over that bleed screw on the slave cylinder. Put one end on the bleed screw nipple, the other in a quart beer bottle(empty it first) or large coke bottle. Loosen the bleed screw about one to two turns.Fill the clutch reservior full. Reach down with your hand and slowly pump the clutch pedal. Do not let the reservior get empty. Watch the coke bottle fill up as you do this. At first you will get air bubbles but they will go away. When they do , tighten the bleed screw on the slave cylinder. Hint....Brake fluid is one good paint remover. Now that I've said the above, you need to ask yourself why you had air in the system. Most likely the slave cylinder is leaking and sucking air. Rebuild kits are only a couple of bucks. On the other hand maybe you just wanted to put new fluid in after ten years. Oh yeah, you might want to put the oil filter back on. Makes for a messy driveway if you don't.
