Bleeding master and slave cylinders????

How diffucult is it to bleed that master and slave cylineders. Its 1996 F-350 4x4. My buddy bought the parts to change his and we were wondering how much of a pain this really is? do we need a reverse bleeder system??? Any input would be graet, we value the suggestions on this forum.

Does the 96 have an external slave like the Superduty?

Did you buy this from the dealer this way, already bled? Sweet deal.

Getting all the air out can be a PITA, but if you detach the slave from the bellhousing and let it hang you can usually get it bled. If you do go the pre-bled route the part number for the assembly is 2c3z-7c522-ca. It runs around $125 local ($131.10 w/tax).
