Open the slave cylinder bleeder, Put a drain pan under it, Fill the resivor, go eat something. Let gravity bleed threw it.

If you don't want to wait you can merely fill the resivor, push the pedal to the floor, open the bleeder, close the bleeder, raise the pedal, check resivor. You're going to have to do that ALLOT. Doing it with two people makes it easier since you can have someone inside and someone outside, esspecially once you begin to build pressure.

Way I do it when I'm alone, Get a snapple bottle, punch a hole in the cap big enough for a vacum hose. Get about three feet of vacum hose (7/32nd). Fill the Snapple bottle half way with clean brake fluid. Put the vacum hose on the bleeder screw of the slave cylinder. Open the bleeder, pump the pedal, everytime you press you release air, everytime you raise instead of sucking back more air you suck in fluid. Keep a close eye on the resivor it is small and will empty quickly. Once you've done it enough it will feel like you are pumping water, you'll understand what I mean, after awhile of that, come up, tighten the bleeder, and boom clutch is bled.

I use a Migty-Vac to bleed a clutch or brake by myself.

When you pump the pedal make sure you don't pump pass where the travel has not gone before if you are using the old cylinder. If it does you may damage the seal and have a leak as a result because of the ridge build up in the cylinder.
