There is a second trick to bleeding slave cylinders.... after pumping on the
clutch pedal to bleed a few times, push on the clutch operating rod a few
times to bleed the cylinder. This will get out the "bubble" that sometimes
forms in the cylinder. Then continue to bleed using the pedal.

Hi Ryan, I took a look at my slave and the bleed screw is positioned
above the clutch master line. This makes sense in that you might never
get the last air bubbles out of the slave if the bleed screw is on the
bottom. air rises
I've heard of people having a devil of a time when they install
calipers on the wrong sides of the car and can't get them bled because
the bleed screws are pointing down, not up.
