  That's new to me.  When doing it solo, I attach a tube to the bleed =
screw on the slave cylinder, run it into a partially full catch basin =
and slowly pump the clutch pedal until all the air is pumped out of the =
system, adding fluid as necessary to the master cylinder so it doesn't =
go dry.   This has always worked for me.
