Bleeding The Clutch?

I searched around but couldnt really find a def answer to what i was looking for. Could someone do a write up on how to bleed the clutch on a 89 240. For some reason the clutch is stuck to the floor and wont come up and i saw on another post that after he bleed the clutch it was fine again. I jus dont know how to go about doin it. Any help would be great. Thanks

Raise the car up and it should be a snap. IIRC its on the passenger side of the trans.

Once you close the screw the pressure would go back to the pedal, so you can pump it. Hope it works out right

Ok, i bleed it and got it working again. That was about 2 days ago. Drove it all day yesterday, go to leave today and the pedal is back on the floor with no pressure ont he clutch. Pop the hood and look in the resuvoir and its empty. Now im startin gto think either A. I didnt tighten the bleeder screw enough. which im pretty sure i did. or B. i have a leak somewhere. Now my question is where would i look for the leak? I never see anything spots in teh driveway or anything. Whats goin on anyone know?

Could be a leak from where the pedal attaches to the master cylinder. Follow your pressure line and se if there is a leak as well

Get a flashlight and take a peak down there. Just follow the pedal up and up

Ok, i've looked and it looks like its coming from around the bleeder screw area, which i belive is the slave cylinder. How much are those to replace? And how hard?

You can go to autozone and get it for 14 bucks or so(I think), that is for the whole slave cylinder. Or you can go to the junkyard to find one...
