How do I bleed the clutch on my DAF 145?

Driving the truck today I lost the use of the clutch, believe it is air assisted and would apreciate some help in possibly bleeding out the air. Many thanks, Marty.

Hi, i have a leyland daf 45 horsebox E reg which wont let me select a gear. The clutch pedal feels very loose and sloppy. We have refilled fluid and gently pumped the clutch a few times to try and get fluid round the system but i still cant get a gear. Any suggestions? Hasnt been stood for long maybe two weeks.
Many thanks

undo the cap ,get an oil can or an old windscreen washer pump ,connect to bleed nipple on the clutch booster /slave cylinder ,and pump the fluid up and out the resovoir ,works every time and is really the only way to bleed a trucks clutch ,takes 5mins

The reserve cylinder is under the front (bonnet) cover

if you just want to bleed it ,then back bleed it

is clutch fluid reservoir empty,and clutch pedal very sloppy or is pedal very difficult to press down.if you could answer these it would help in giving you an answer
