Hi Enrique,
You just have bled the bubbles out of the lines and the first part of the
slave cylinder.
Near the piston lots of air still cvan be present.
Method:
have the slave psiton pushed inwards as far as possible.
then:
1 with the blead nipple closed
2 press the pedal fully
3 open the bleed nipple air from the slave should flow out
4 close the bleed nipple
5 release the pedal
Repeat steps 1 through 5 untill no air comes out anymore. The fork travel
should be o.k. by then.
NOTE: check and top up the fluid level every 3 times you do this. Otherwise
the level will be too low and air will come into the line again and you have
to start all over again.
By this I have experienced the slave cylinder will be free of air.
Last thing: treat your wife well and have her pressing the pedal @ your
command.
You can see & enjoy the progress in the job best!
Good luck!
Hans
