Default Air in clutch line!

What is the easiest way to bleed the hydraulic clutch on a 1988 911? I recently changed front brake pads but I didn't bleed them because fluid level was normal when the thicker new pads were put in and the brakes were fine. About 30 miles later the brakes are still great but the clutch is mushy and engages very low near the floor ( the front trunk brake/clutch reservoir is still perfect) HELP PLEASE

From what I understand, the only way to bleed the clutch is with a pressure bleeder (i.e. Motive). That's what I use (never tried it any other way), and it works like a champ.

Pressure bleeding is not the only way but it is the best way. You might be able to vacume bleed but it is a PITA sometimes. One tip is to make sure you keep the master full when bleeding. It is easy to suck air
