Slave cylinder bleeding...???

Hi guys, tried using the search thing but can't find anything. Replaced the slave on my 95 F350, and now need to bleed it. When I crack the screw on it, oil comes out. But iam assuming there is still air in it somewhere because my pedal does nothing yet. I yes, I made the mistake of not buying the whole thing. Thanks for any help!

If you have the slave cylinder with the bleeder screw,wich it sounds like you do, Have somewne depress and hold the clutch peddle while the bleeder screw is open. Close the screw and let the peddle return to the "up" position, then repeat the procedure. If you dont have the bleeder, good luck.

Yep, got my wife to help me this morning. Got it to work ok now. Iam guessing I should have filled the slave before installing, seems like that's where the air is in. But it's driveable for now.

If it is driveable, find a rough/choppy road and depress the clutch as you are driving down the road. It will help get the rest of the air out.
