Default Silver Sport Hydraulic Clutch Slave Bleeding

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience using the Silver Sport Transmission hydraulic clutch slave and throw-out? My question is related to bleeding the line. I've seen many factory and aftermarket brands that run the hydraulic line directly from the master to the slave cylinder and then there is a second line or bleeder coming off the slave cylinder for bleeding. However, Silver Sport uses a single line to the slave, and there is a bleeder fitting T'd in the line just outside of the bellhousing, and then that same line continues on into the bellhousing and on UPHILL to the slave cylinder.

I'm having a hard time visualizing how the air will be removed between the T fitting and the slave. I have no doubt that Silver Sport has sold a zillion of these setups and it must somehow work, but can anyone explain to me how?

I have not installed mine yet, so can't offer anything from experience.

Thanks!
