If possible, you want to avoid contaminating the slave with the debris from the master cylinder if you do decide to bleed the entire system through with an Eezibleed or similar. Disconnect the quick fit union and then bleed through the master cylinder end by pressing in the membrane at the end of the joint, or by making up a bleed nipple/female quick fit connector device from an old slave cylinder, which you connect to the 'male' end of the quick fit connector at the MC end. This may seem a bit of extra hassle, but reduces the chances of the slave failing due to debris from the MC damaging the slave cylinder seals.
