my method after several attempts resulting in hours to get clutch back.
jack car from passenger side and support on stands front and rear. Push clutch pedal to floor and employ a device (stick) to keep the pedal on the floor. Attach power bleeder to master reservoir and apply 10lbs of pressure (no fluid just air). make sure reservoir is filled completely. crawl under car with a box and open wrench and open bleeder. close it quickly. remember there is very little fluid in the clutch line portion of the master reservoir. you cant extract a significant amount of fluid from the clutch slave. wait 5 minutes (I crawl back out from under the car and inspect reservoir). This allows the fluid to migrate back to the front left portion of the reservoir which transfers rather slowly. Continue this process until you have solid fluid exiting the bleeder. tighten the bleeder wipe up area. Inside the car the stick or whatever you used to hold pedal down will be on the floor as the pedal has completely collapsed at this point. Now slowly and I mean very very slowly pull the pedal with your hand to the up position. This should take 30-45 seconds or longer if you can. The idea is do this really slow. Your pedal should feel great and return on its own. If it doesn't there is still air in the line and you will need to repeat this process. This method works great for me and I hope it works great for you.
