the best way is to have help.
Be under the car, have your help fill the master to the tip top.
Remove the slave from the bell housing and loosen the bleeder. Let it simply drain for a moment. Once down, pump up the master... then, from under the car, using a ratchet handle, push the piston in the slave all the way up, then pump it back up. Air should come out when the piston in the slave is pushed all the way back.
Do this 2 or 3 times, keeping the master filled, and all should be well.
