from what I understand you need to remove the slave cylinder first, then bench bleed it and reinstall. Hopefully this link helps.

My xj has a bleed valve so I was able to do it on the vehicle, but my Haynes manual has intructions for bleeding an external slave, similar to the link I included.

If you don't already have a Haynes manual pick one up! It will pay for itself the first time you use it.

From someone who just went through all of this. I would can tell you it is better to just buy the pre bleed master and slave combo. These are a sealed unit and air getting into the system shows the it failed some where. Can you bleed the slave, yes but It is a temp fix.
