you should not need to bleed this system it is pre-assembled providing you got it all together. it is a pain to bleed and should be gotten as a kit such as this http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...th=236_262_288
Slave, master and hoses and resevoir can be replaced independently if components are purchased from an aftermarket source (ie. AZ etc), GM sells them as a setup. OK mightymax, this is a PITA but to properly bleed the system you will need to push the piston rod in all the way on the slave while pumping the master and looking for bubbles in the resevoir. be sure to keep the slave below the master while doing this and don't pump the master if the slave rod is not pressed in (damage will occur, I did this on accident and blew out my master). A friend will need to help you out. The other way is to use a "mightyvac" to suck out the bubbles.
I just bled mine it took 5 minutes. Just remove resivior cap, unbolt the slave from the trans, pump slave rod from under car while a friend adds fluid untill it stops bubbleing and stops taking in fluid. Fill to line and your done.
BTW I could not find just the line and had to buy the entire assembally. If you buy the entire assembally its pre bled. My line broke and Im running a Mcleod Adjustable MC so I had to swap the line and bleed it.
Is real easy job but when its getting full its a bitch to pump.
