Remove master cylinder cover
Fill the syringe with fluid
put small hose on syringe
hook other end to the bleed nipple on slave cylinder
Loosen nipple and pump fluid from syringe into slave.

If you run out of fluid in syringe, tighten nipple back up and start over.

Keep pumping it in until you see no bubbles coming out in master.

the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder, are you talking about where the hose mounts to it. I think the kit is complete. you push the fliud from the slave up into the resevior?

Yes, you push the fluid up from the slave to the master, pushing all the air out.

I'm not sure how it hooks to your slave, I've only done it on a Cannondale which is a little different because it's factory fit.

go to ebay motors and search for a magura hydrolic clutch kit. The guy selling them on there is great. I believe his name is kingair or kingman 2001. Send him an email and he will explain it to you. I had a bunch of questions when bleeding the one for my warrior and he helped me out a ton. If yours is similar to mine there is no bleed nipple on the slave cylinder and it makes it a little more complicated to bleed.
