Message of lines. Open (just remove) the slave's bleed port and let the fluid gravity flow out -- the stream flow changes from dripping to a steady flow when all is good.

Job can be done alone but with a helper up top making sure the reservoir stays topped up is good to. Once the slave's bleed port has been installed -- have the helper press the clutch pedal down and crack the port, close and have them pull the pedal back and then do it again. All the air should fully be gone down at the slave.

Let the car sit for 30 mins or so - allows bubbles to move up to the top bleed line. Do a regular bleed procedure here -- again having a helper works great but using a speed bleeder valve also is good if by yourself. Once all the air looks to be gone from the upper line - let is sit for 30 mins and re-do again. Not a bad idea to do the sit/wait again for a another cycle -- I'll even check mine the next day and usually find some more bubbles (but not a lot)....

OK? Never had a problem doing it this way -- just takes time and patience...

Of course this all assumes your clutch MC is working fine and there's no issues there....
