You can do it a few ways. One is called BENCH BLEEDING in which you would put the master cylinder in a vise and run a bleeding kit into the reservoir and pump the piston with a screw driver until there are no more bubbles ( you will still have to follow the next step as well but this makes it go faster) THIS IS ONLY IF YOU ARE INSTALLING A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. The second way is the normally process in which you have someone sit in the car and pump the pedal 4-5 times ( pushing the pedal all the way down and up each time ) and on the last pump have your buddy hold the pedal to the floor then you open the valve on the slave cylinder and let the fluid out ( dont let them release the pedal until you close the valve or you will suck air back in) do this this a few times until the pedal feels good. If you are alone and dont have someone to help you, you can just open the valve on the slave cylinder and let it GRAVITY BLEED. As we all know fluid is heavier than air so after awhile the fluid will push out the air in the system. Keep checking the reservoir as you dont want to run it dry. This is also the same as when working on the brake system.
ANSWER
INSTALL THEM YOU DONT WANT TO PUSH THE PUMP FORWARD BACK FORWARD BACK WITH FLLUID ON THEY HAVE TO BE VIRGIN WITH NOTHING AND THEN BLEED GRAVITY OR VACUUM BLEED IT THE RESON FOR THAT IS BOTH WAYS YOUR NOT BEATING UP THE PUMPS,THEY WILL WORK AMAZING IF PREVENT FROM BEATING YOUR PUMPS.GRAVITY IS OK ,VACUUM BLEED IS A DEALER JOB WELL DONE,YOUR MAIN KEY IS YOU HAVE NO LEAKS BY MAKING SURE THEM FLUID PIPES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY YOU HAVE TO TIGHTEN THEM OR CLIP VERY PROPERLY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT YOU GET THEM RIGHT WITH NO LEAKS,THATS IT YOU JUST SAVE YOURSELF SOME BIG LABOR MONEY BUY YOURSELF AN iPod OR SOMETHING,AND 1 MORE THING JUST TRY TO DO 1 GOOD BLEED,HOPE THIS HELPS

Where and how do you adjust the clutch on a 94 escort?
The clutch can't be adjusted. It is an hydraulic clutch. The clutch pedal sends pressure from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder on the clutch. IF you are having trouble with it the thing to do is bleed the air out at the slave cylinder. Have an assistant pump the clutch and hold it to the floor. Then open the bleed valve on the slave cylinder to let the air out of the system. On the final bleed hold the clutch to the floor and close the bleed valve on the slave cylinder. The clutch master cylinder operates of the brake fluid reservoir. Make sure you keep this full of brake fluid as you bleed the clutch.

What if your clutch on your 85 Toyota corolla goes to the floor and is hard to shift?
There are two normal causes. The clutch is worn out or there is a leak in the hydraulic clutch slave or master cylinder. To check the clutch, press the clutch slave cylinder down. If the clutch slave cylinder bellows compresses down to the slave cylinder, the clutch is worn out. Check the clutch master cylinder fluid level. if this is low, then the clutch cylinder need to be checked. To check for a hydraulic leak in the clutch slave cylinder, remove the cylinder's bellows and check for any fluid. If fluid is present, rebuild or replace the cylinder and bleed the system. To check the clutch master cylinder, check the back the of clutch master cylinder for leaks. If fluid is present, replace or rebuild clutch master cylinder and bleed the system. In my experience, hydraulic leaks occur at the clutch slave cylinder.
