Ok do this

Clean out the res squeaky clean with paper towels, then refill it HALF WAY.

Now to bleed. One man job, no tools needed. Don't touch the bleeder you'd be wasting your time.

Go under the car, using a bright flashlight, look through the rectangular windows in the boot that hides the end of the slave and the clutch fork.

Using you finger of screwdriver, push the fork all the way towards the rear of the car (it will push the slave cyl push rod into the slave) then let it return all the way. Do this 4-5 times.

This will expell any air to the top of the res.

Once the bleed is done, fill the res to the proper level.
Thanks for the tip - about to change out my master cylinder this weekend as well.
Just to be sure, can I use this method to bleed my line after I put the new master cylinder on? Or would I be better off using a standard bleeding method via the bleeder valve?

Okay so I was having a little trouble getting my hand into that rectangular window in the boot with the car just up on jackstands so I just went ahead and did a normal old fashion bleed. It seemed to work just fine, but the little black cover that covers the nipple/valve stem on the bleeder valve got lost in the work. Do I need to tear through the garage to find it, or does it matter?
