I'm confused, how do you run a hard line from the slave? Do you attache it
to the back of the slave or the output side?
I don't understand, but that's pretty normal for me.

The other issue is that you do not have a residual valve in the clutch bore
like you have in the brake bore. Consequently, operating the pedal with the
bleeder open only moves the fluid back and forth until you build some
pressure. Other options are to close the bleeder while the pedal is held on
the downstroke.
My own solution is to run a hard line from the clutch slave, with a bleeder
at the end of the line, up to an area about the level of the battery tray
where I can manipulate the bleeder while I'm standing at the MC. I can
bleed a clutch that way in about 3 minutes.
