Steve,
Come on, We know you only need ONE person. It's easy, just gets some 1/4" tubing to fit over the bleeder value. Cut it to a lenght that will go to the
garage floor. Attach one end to the slave and place the other in a can of Hydraulic fluid. Now open the value and press peddle several times untill all
the air is out. Then close the value. As the end of the tube is in fluid it will suck fluid back into the system instead of air and we do not need TWO people.
