Unbolt the slave cylinder & rotate it to position the bleeder to be topmost part. Then gravity bleed the thing. Don't pump pedal too much with slave unbolted, or the rod will come out.

in the morning - I was wondering if there might be air in there.

How's your car running?

I've heard blocking the pedal down overnight helps the air bubbles to rise up to the reservoir. Sounds like a giveup technique.

Maybe someone should build a bracket to bolt the slave to, in order to capture the rod for bleeding. Pushing the rod to bottom by hand might help move the air up.

My car is good.
