Bleading Clutch

I have an 01 F450 with a 6 speed standard in it. I removed the slave from the tranny to have a look at it. I now need to replace the break fluid and bleed the system. How do I bleed the system and can I do this with it mounted in the truck? Thanks

The simple way is to just take the slave out of the bell housing, and with the reservoir cap removed, pump the piston slowly 20 or 30 times.

Did you pull the slave off the line, or just pull it out of the tranny? Unless it was removed from the line, there should be no reason to bleed it.

The slave was taken out of the transmission and the piston was taken out. Do I just re-install it and pump the clutch 20 to 30 times or do I have to do something different?

Thanks
