start the engine, have someone depress the clutch pedal (all the way to the floor). unscrew the bleeder valve on the side of the bell housing. let it bleed while you're helper releases the pedal, and don't forget to keep the fluid level topped off in the reservoir, or you'll just get more air in the lines. have you're helper pump the clutch a few times.( it'll suck some fluid every time the clutch is depressed. once you see the fluid coming out of the valve sputter, pump the clutch once more and replace the cap of the bleeder valve. repeat this until you're clutch feels right. i had to do it three times before i got all the air out of my slave.

The clutch bleed valve on a 2.2 liter Chevy Ecotec engine is located on the slave cylinder. To find the slave cylinder remove the battery, as it is mounted underneath the battery tray.
Inside the bell housing, the transmission has to come out
Pull or cut the hose off the slave and master Cylinder.Go to the parts store and buy a long hose for a grease gun and a couple clamps. Clamp it on both ends and bleed it
It is important to bleed a clutch master and slave cylinder to make sure all of the air is out of the lines. For a 1989 Chevy you would need to know model you had, and then find the repair manual for that specific vehicle.
I found the answers to a lot of my questions about my 99 Cavalier by buying a Chilton's manual for the car.
This is not for beginners. You have to drain the transmission, remove the axles, remove the transmission, install the new cylinder, then replace the transmission, axles, add new synchromesh fluid to the tranny, and bleed the clutch hydraulics. You can get the whole procedure from Autozone's website.
You do something.
Right above the slave cylinder there is a bleeder screw. Just unsrew it and have someone hold in the clutch to start the bleed.
Replace the slave cylinder.
If I am understanding the part you are talking about the. It is the metal line that goes into the slave cylinder that attaches to the rubber hose from the slave cylinder... Depending on your slave cylinder it is/was held in by a plastic horseshoe style clip that could have broke from a stress fracture manufacturer defect or overheating
bleed it the same way u bleed the brakes
