I hope I don't have to remove the slave cylinder and buy one of those slave cylinder bleeding tools. It looked like removing the slave would be a tight fit.
It is pretty easy to remove the slave cylinder to bleed it vertically. instead of the special tool, all you need is a piece of steel strapping or Dexion or similar, together with two nuts and bolts of the right length to allow the piston to be compressed by placing the strapping across the top of the piston and the bolts through both the cylinder mounting holes and holes in the strapping.
