When I first got my car I wanted to replace all the fluids, so I bled the clutch fluid through the slave with a mityvac pump and it worked fine.

A few weeks later I upgraded the brakes and installed a brake bias spring in the master cylinder. It required me to remove the master from the car to install. After I reinstalled it, I bled the master with a plastic kit from one of the auto parts stores. I threaded the plastic nipples into the side ports, filled the master with fluid and attached the vacuum tubes to the nipples. I placed the other side of the vacuum tubes into the brake fluid, pumped the brakes a few times to get all the air out of the master, removed the tubes and nipples, attached the brake lines, bled the slave with the pump and I was done.

All-in-all, it was pretty easy.

Good luck.
