This is all that I can find. Looks like you can't, or at least not made to do.
What you can do is just go to the end of the fuild lines and loosen up enough so its starts leaking. Then just wait untill it gets new fluid dripping out.

The clutch master cylinder, remote reservoir, slave cylinder and connecting lines are all serviced as an assembly. These components cannot be serviced separately. The linkage cylinders and connecting lines are sealed units. They are pre-filled with fluid during manufacture and must not be disassembled nor disconnected."Chrysler does not provide a procedure to bleed the clutch hydraulic system" .

One thing i always do is before bleeding use a turkey baster and suck out the fluid in the master cylinder and fill with new. Another thing that slips by is do the same with the power steering you would be suprised how crappy that fluid gets.

I figured out a way to do it today. What had happened was I took the hydraulic system apart without realizing its supposed to be a "non-servicable" system. And off topic, I got the transmission in and started it up this afternoon. I'm still not quite done but it works.
Back to the hydraulic system...
What I did to refill it was pull the pin and removed the line from the master cylinder. Then I put a small diameter rubber tube on the end of the line that goes into the master cylinder (with the slave cylinder still hooked up. Next, I held the system in a way that the master cylinder end of the line was the highest point of the system and the rubber hose connected to it was submerged in a bottle of brake fluid. Then I slowly pumped the slave cylinder by hand until all the air bubbles stopped. Next I filled up the resevoir and let the fluid pour out of the master cylinder and quickly pulled of the rubber hose and reattached the line to the master cylinder. Then I pumped the slave cylinder slowly 2 more times to let what little bit of air that got in the system while reconnecting it out. Then I installed the slave cylinder and it worked great!
