Clutch slave installation tips sought

[SpikeC]

 I just acquired a nice new gold colored EVR clutch slave cylinder. I have a syringe that I modified to inject fluid into the cylinder just prior to installation, and I was wondering if anyone had any helpful handy hints regarding installation of this thing  that would minimize mess and other unpleasantness.
Thanks for any help on this easy project!

If gravity is available while installing hydraulic parts...

I use it.

Open the bleeder and let gravity do it's thing.

 I'll see if I can find some! I get you're point......

Make sure you have everything needed to neutralize and clean brake fluid at arms reach before you begin, clean rags and an alkaline based cleaner. I had an awful time trying to bleed the clutch, finally got frustrated enough to go buy a Mityvac at Harbor Freight (but I got the generic HF brand for $22 instead) and that thing is awesome...bled my clutch perfectly in 3 minutes from the time the cap was off the reservoir to back on. I will never bleed anything without it ever again.

 Thanks Buck, I just happen to have a MityVac that I haven't yet used. Last time I spilled brake fluid on my fairing I sprayed on some WD-40 and wiped that off, then some S100 cleaner and wax and it seemed to do the job.
I need to get this done soon as the weather is slated to get really nice by Sunday!

 All done! Very easy job, I used my MityVac and flushed fresh fluid into it. At first I was concerned that the gold might be to blingy, butt then the damn bike is so blingy already, what the hay?

Looks good.  But with that bike to start with you probably couldn't go far wrong!  Which MityVac did you use?  This one ?

 Affermative.

a nice trick to remember for next time is to put your hydro fuid in the freezer.  the colder, less viscous liquid will push tiny bubbles out much easier

 Thanks for the tip! I hope it helps someone else too!
