Unscrew the bleed screw, attach a hose to it and drop the hose into some brake fluid and just start pumping the clutch, air bubbles will start coming out of the tube as you pump, keep pumping the clutch until the air bubbles go away. then your done.

Sometimes it is hard to get the last little bit of air out. It can be self bleed by using your hand and just pushing the first inch quickly for 10 cycles, then check for firm peddle. Repeat as necessary. Make sure that the car isn't higher in the front than rear while bleeding.

check to make sure the pin from the slave cylinder is making contact with the clutch fork. I forgot about that the last time I changed my clutch, it was a facepalm moment followed by a 3 hour long ordeal starting when I cracked the line to the slave and couldnt find my double-flare kit.
