so I went by advance auto parts and bought a one man brake bleeder, consisting of clear tube, little clear jar, and a fitting for the nipple.
i loosened the bleeder screw and had my wife pump for a while until she got tired (air bubbles kept coming out). so, then I let her watch and I kept pumping until i was just getting an occasional little bubble, and then it seemed to be just fluid (except for like champagne bubbles).
I closed the bleeder screw and started pumping and soon the pressure came back and I'm at what I'd call 95%, or what someone who didn't know the car might think was normal.
So the question now is, how long can I keep doing this and driving the car before the slave cylinder completely goes (assuming it is this and not a bad master cylinder that was replaced a couple weeks ago)??
I was at 40% pedal before I messed it up and lost all pedal.
