you can use a 13mm flare open ended wrench to turn the nipple on the slave enough to start dripping. just put several rags between it and leading as far to the left side of the car in a straight line, you'll see why later LOL.
Do not over pressurize the system, there are other seals between the brake master and the fluid res that you don't want to over stress. put a quart of brake fluid in the power bleeder and attach to the resivor. Watch during the cycles that it doesn't get too low. Pump it about five times and then open the bleed nipple a bit more, it should spurt or spit out and may stop then, close it just snug and this time pump 10 times, open the bleed valve again and see if it keeps going without pause, as it starts to slow down close the valve and do 10 more pumps and again open the bleed valve. you *may* see it spitting and that is air. repeat until you only see nice clear fluid without spitting. Do not overtighten the bleed valve, just snug is plenty. You can leave the power bleeder hooked up to then test the clutch for feel, you can have someone else do the pedal after you think it feels correct and you can look past the slave and see the fingers in the pressure plate move.
Remember repeating the bleed cycle more times only uses more fluid, doing it less times has the possibility of needing to do the entire job... again!
