Adrian,
This is sort of how I bled mine. Only I held it in the air. I removed the
slave, wrapped a LARGE rubber band around it to give some resistance, bleed
it till no air. then reintalled it. No problem.

bottle rather than dripping into a pan, and there are no air bubbles at all.
The odd thing is that it always seems like more fluid comes out than I am
putting in.
