Just did this job about a week ago... Use a pump or siringe to suck out the old fluid. Have a second person pump the clutch while you are under the car at the bleeder valve on the slave. OPen valve, have person press clutch all the way down close valve and then raise the clutch. Keep an eye on the fluid level to make sure it doesnt go too low and starts circulating air back into system. Repeat steps till all air is out...

I suck out the old fluid with a turkey baster... cleaned up the goo in the reservoir with a clean lintless paper towel and some q-tips, fill reservoir and then put a clear line on the slave bleeder and used fresh fluid until it gravity bled clean. Top off to max line... Done.

Billman said that you dont even need to go as far as bleeding the lines. Just suck the fluid wipe it clean and pour new fluid. Press the clutch a few times, and then top off.
Apparently all the oil fluid from the lines makes its way back to the reservoir again.
