Dick,  I saw a tip a few years back and have had very good luck with it. 
Use a new pump type oil can and fit a hose on the spout.  Fill with brake 
fluid and fill the line backwards from the slave to the master.  Just watch 
that you don't over fill the master and spill it.  Especially good on clutch 
slaves where you have just one line.

Subject: [Spridgets] brakes


I just spent quite a while jacking up various wheels and bleeding the
brakes of my Sprite. Used an EZ bleed and cleared some air and old fluid.
I had good brake pedal pressure for about 30 seconds and now have
practically nothing.  I can get a little braking if I pump a few times,
but it's dangerous at best..
I paid a shop to install a new slave cylinder last year and the system
hasn't been the same since.  At first the gears were grinding and I had
them fix it.
Do I now need to bleed the slave cylinder?  If so, what's the easiest
method to get at it.
Thanks.
