The idea is to put the cylinder into a vise and pump the it manually, instead of with the pedal, until no air bubbles are visible.

Get a hose or tube that fits in where the clutch hydraulic line goes. Loop it up into the reservoir.

Put brake fluid in, pump the piston a bunch of times. This pumps fluid thru the hose back into the reservoir. If you work the air bubbles out of the MC this way, it's easier to bleed after you install it in the car.
