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.

I don't tell anyone that. I let them figure it out on their own.
