If you don't have some kind of mechanical or vacuum bleeder it's a 2 person job. Fill the resivoir up and 1 person under the truck will work the bleeder and one person in the truck will pump up the clutch. Just like bleeding brakes. pump it a couple times, push the pedal to the floor, open the bleeder (keeping foot on the floor and not taking your foot off), close the bleeder, let off the clutch pedal AFTER it's closed completely (you don't have to ape arm it closed, but snugg), rinse/repeat until there is no old fluid or air bubbles. Make sure to keep checking the clutch master cylinder resivoir to make sure it doesn't get to low so you don't inject air BACK into the system. If this doesn't inprove your clutch then there is something else wrong.
