yeah, you need 2 people to do it, Jack the car up, have one person inside the car and you under the car . The person inside the car will have to pump the pedal a few times and then hold it down while you crack the bleeder valve on the slave. the bleeder valve is right above where the hydraulic line is located on the tranny/bellhousing. When you crack it alot of fluid will come out and then it will slow down on its own. Once it slows down close the bleeder valve and repeat the process but make sure you keep the fluid in the resovoir filled, check this after each pump and bleed.

check out www.installuniversity.com and look for the mcleod master cyl install cause it has the bleed procedure in it.
