Another method that worked fairly well was to set the slave on a rack or tray over something to collect dripping brake fluid, crack the banjo just enough to start a slow leak, and gravity bleed it. This method takes forever though.
In either case, pre-filling the slave with a bit of fluid and cycling it a little to get the air out will help immensely.

Megadan, i found it bled out fairly easily...LOL slave lower than the master, and pump the slave in and out slowly. each stroke pulls oil down the hose to the slave, and each return stroke purges the air back up the hose to the master cylinder. shake the slave and hose about every 10 stokes to shake loose any stubborn air, and it will go quite smooth....
