You said it all right there.
I unbolted the slave and did tilt up the bleeder side. Via that, and then having the motive pressure bleeder constantly pushing fluid through from up top, I would get some air out. Then I would push the piston back in, with the bleeder open, and get a little more out. Close the bleeder, Put the clamp back on, get back out and pump the pedal a bit to move the piston back out, and repeat. Do that about 15 times, which is practically a CrossFit workout with burpees when you think about how many times I’m going from the floor to in the car.
At the moment I reassembled to see where I am and I have a halfway pedal. I’m walking away again to think about whether I should try the standard push pedal open screw close bleeder lift pedal route from here to get a GOOD pedal, or if that will send me back to ground zero.
