Question on Clutch Master and Slave Cylinder Replacement

Thanks for the writeup. To help dislodge bubbles, I found it helpful, while using the Motive bleeder, to very slightly open the bleed valve so it is at a fast drip. Then, starting at the reservoir, lightly start tapping the supply line I used the wrench to open the bleed valve, since it was in my hand, then go inside the car and tap the master cylinder and hard line. Slowly pump the pedal several times. Next go to the engine bay and tap the line leading to the slave cylinder, and the cylinder itself, in several places. Then open the bleed valve more to purge air bubbles. Doing this several times really helped get those stubborn air bubbles out.
