Leave the slave hanging by the line. Pump the slave by hand carefully and slowly to force the air up the line and into the master reservior. Gently pump it till you feel the fluid resistance, then attach the slave. I had to use a bar clamp to compress mine to install. Somebody here had a better idea and pulled the actuator arm with a ratchet strap.
