Default Slave Cylinder Bleeding

I just replaced the clutch master and slave cylinder on my 86 and I can't seem to get a good bleed job. Any tips out there for doing this either 1) easy or 2) right. :crazy:

Many Thanks.

Remove the slave cylinder from the bellhousing, rotate the slave so the bleed screw is at the top, then bleed the system. This will keep air from being trapped in the top of the slave.

I tried doing it by the book, but still couldn't get all the air out. I wound up using The Green Rocket's procedure here:

Works good.
