Nope, doing it by myself, though I did have my roommate come out and stomp for a
minute while I stood-by to CLOSE the valve.  I was simply waiting for fluid to start
squirting before I did this.  So perhaps your idea would work, BUT...
Wouldn't there be a decent amount of fluid displaced out of the MC if it were working
properly?  I am simply thinking in terms of the size of the slave cylinder, there
must be a decent-sized gush of fluid go into that to make the inner sleeve/cup move
up very much at all!  However, before taking off the slave it was pumping out huge
spurts of fluid as I was trying to bleed it.

Anyone?  Ideas?
