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.

Or reverse bleed from the slave cylinder end back into the master. Use a large syringe and tube onto the open bleed nipple. Make sure to put a large bowl or container under the master cylinder to catch the excess. Make sure that there are no bubbles in the end of the syringe tube before opening the bleed nipple. No pedal pumping required.
