having never done this, (dont know where the bleed nipple is) but if you cant find it either, fill the reservoir, undo the nut where the pipe joins the slave cylinder half a turn and get a mate to slowly pump the clutch until fluid appears, tighten it up, at least the fluid will be in the pipe if nothing else!!!!! :shock:

ok try this .....
first undo the bleed nipple and do NOTHING for an hour or so see if the fluid will syphon down to the slave cylinder, then bleed as you would normally,

if no joy then try "back bleeding " it, get yourself a clean oil can and fill with brake/clutch fluid, fit a pipe to the end and to the bleed nipple then pump untill you see air bubbles at the master cylinder end,remove can and pump a few times and bleed again normally.

hope this helps
if its not broke dont fix it, or i will ;-)
