Actually it is a little different from brakes. Do check, as suggested, the
position of the bleeder screw. It should be on the top. If it's not, you
can probably just swap the connectors in the holes; not need to rotate the
cylinder. Do not pump the pedal; this will cause bubbles in the fluid which
will compound the problem. If this happens, you will just have to wait a few
hours for the bubbles to settle on their own. With one hand hold the pushrod
in on the slave cylinder. In other words do not let it be moved by the
action of pressing on the pedal. This keeps the area in which air is trapped
to a minimum and really does work to get air out. The pedal should be pressed
in one steady motion, opening the bleeder screw just after pressure is
applied and closed before the end of travel. Be sure to constantly check
level of fluid - I have forgotten and had to start over. You can also use a
mity-vac or similar vacuum to help draw out air and fluid, but the trick to
this is to use low level of vacuum.
