It should be a 1/4 inch line for this and you bleed it just like a brake system. You will need to depress the clutch a number of times after any replacement just to work the air out but then you will need to hold the pedal, open the bleeder and then close it and release the pedal until the pedal feels correct.

Here is a guide on replacing the clutch that will help with this:

Below is the process on replacing the slave cylinder that talks about this as well.

Please let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
