Get a bleeding system at autopart store. They usually sell it.
If not, here is a diy bleed tool. You need a vacuum hose (clear preferable) and a glass/cup. Fill the glass with some brake fluid and connect the hose to the bleed screw. Loose the bleed screw and fill the reservior and start pumping. Bleed until you see all bubbles clear. Tight the bleed screw and unhook everything.
Remember to fill up the brake reservior. The clutch reservior is very small. Even the brake reservior look full, but the clutch reservior maybe empty.
Good luck.

Hi
Tanks for the reply. Need to know if the black rubber cap is the nipple or is it the srew? Do I need to unscrew the bleeder or just take the rubber cap off??

Take the rubber cap off first. The bleeder screw is a 10mm. You will need to manually pull back the clutch pedal if it sinks and stays down. Pump the pedal 2-3 times then crack the bleeder. As soon as the pedal drops you need to close the bleeder. You will need to this for at least 5-10 times to get all the air out. You will be looking to get a stream of fluid from the bleeder, with no air or spitting from the bleeder. Please remember to keep the brake fluid topped off and wash the whole area off with water once you're done since brake fluid will peel the paint right off. Good luck
