I replaced my slave cyl in early December, about 1.3 years after i did the
master cyl!

I found one of the 13mm bolts to be a royal pain, i made sure that i
cleaned both of them well so that the nuts would spin on in the re-install.
I had everything ready under the van, and switched the hydraulic line
quickly. My mechanic had suggested that if i had problems bleeding the
system (I have a pressure bleeder), try forcing the fluid backwards, back
up to the resevoir. But as it turned out I didn't have to do either. While
I was under the van, I noticed a poor electrical connection on my engine
and while I was resoldering that, I left the bleed nipple open on the slave
cyl (and connected tubing from the nipple to a plastic bottle) and let the
system gravity bleed. It took me about 15 minutes to do the electrical
repair, and that seemed to be enough time for the hydraulics to be bled.
