This may sound wierd, but I have had luck pumping the pedal really fast and taking short strokes, then long slow strokes. I told you it would sound wierd!

I have done these several times, and they all seem to like something different. Try several different things, like above. Try with the cap on and off. I have let them sit over night and the air worked its way up. Keep an eye on the fluid.

try pumping the clutch several times and have someone losen the fitting on the slave cylinder while you are holding the clutch down tighten the fitting before releasing the clutch. try that several times. that should get most of the air out.

Don't try and bleed it with it in place, remove it and hold it with the hose end up so any air will travel up the hose while you have someone pump the pedal for ya.
