Assume you mean the clutch slave.  One tip is to toggle the metal slave lever a couple of times to help remove bubbles from the system.  Sometimes you can bleed the hell out of the slave, but it still is marginal until that lever is toggled a couple of times and the bubbles worked out.

Should be an easy job!!

Lots of posts on this subject. Many say to connect the bleed valve from a front brake (probably front left) to the bleed valve on the slave cyl and push fluid into the slave cyl. Obviously you would have to watch fluid levels in both reservoirs.

I found that using a cheap syringe probably from Amazon I could just push fluid from the syringe into the slave cyl.  Lee
