Default '95 Honda Accord hydraulic(?) clutch failure...

Pipe to clutch slave cylinder is fitted with compression fittings
which were rusty but moved freely with a little WD40. It is a ~$10
dealer part but the two dealers I called don't stock it.

Replaced the leaking slave, bled with one of those do-it-yourself
brake bleeding kits, flushed the whole systems a couple times over,
and voila! Clutch feels mint. Just waiting for the master cylinder
to go.

How do I ajdust the clutch pedal freeplay?

Darryl.
