You must remove the transmission of the car to replace the clutch slave cylinder, here is a video of the job being done on a similar car so you can see what I am talking about please I have including diagrams in the images below to show you how the job is done on your car.

That's the clutch master cylinder. It should self-bleed, I would make sure it is full of fluid and then pump it about 50 times you should get a good clutch pedal. Let me know.

I just replaced the slave cylinder but still no pressure at all, it could be bubbles? How do I purge it? Or could it be another problem?
