After I installed the clutch slave cylinder on my new rx7 and now the pedal comes off the floor but how do I bleed it? Because the clutch doesnt engage all the way.

There's a bleeder on the slave cylinder. Either a long 5/16" or 8 mm socket will fit on it. Have somebody push down the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and loosen the bleeder. Then tighten it. Then have them bring the pedal back up. Do this until there are no more air bubbles and the pedal feels stiff again. Just make sure that you keep the fluid reservoir filled up when doing it.

And always keep brake fluid off painted surfaces as much as possible, it can strip paint.
