Clutch Master cylinder access?

Anyone know how to access the guts of the clutch pedal. I need to check fluid levels. My pedal sticks mid way and when it doesn't it rests to high, right up against the stopper. Any ideas of what is causing this?
Cheers

To check the fluid levels, Open you RH Door & lift the tab on the side of the dashboard. The Brake & Clutch resiviour are together.

If it is sticking then possibly your slave cylinder needs honning & a kit through itor the clutch itself is worn out..

Thanks, I don't think the clutch is worn out as it works fine, I figure the problem is in the slave cylinder. Has anybody here played with that part of their car yet?

Under the left hand side of the car on the side of the box.

Undo the fluid line from the slave cylinder & block off the line so that all the fluid does not drain out due to gravity. You can leave the Reseviour cylinder as is, that is just above the slave cylinder. Undo the 2 bolts & remove from the car. Blow out with air the piston. Get a kit that has a dust seal (external) & a piston seal. Hone the cylinder & replace the spring ??, & the seal onto the cylinder & piston into the cylinder, make sure you lubricate with brake fluid onto the piston & inside the cylinder. Bolt back & bleed. Should take about hour hour..
