To avoid brake fluid getting everywhere, unhook the
hose at the slave cylinder and let it drain into a pan
outside.  Much nicer this way and quicker than cleaning
up a big mess.  Then bleed with one of those one-manb
brake bleeders at flaps for $1.99 hooked up back at the
slave cylinder...with a can/jar of brake fluid propped
up on the engine.

It should take 30 mins.
