Keep an eye on the reservoir to avoid a low fluid scenario which will just suck in more air.
When I bled mine the clutch pedal felt no different[minimal resistance ] but it worked fine

Thanks for the advice. I actually tried this way as well. One time it didn't seem to do anything (when I tried a couple months ago), and then today when I tried this method (after the crack and pump method didn't work), all I got was foamy brake fluid in the line running from the caliper to the slave.
I think it was sucking in air from around the caliper bleed valve. Both the caliper and slave bleed valves were leaking some fluid around the threads. It ended up drawing air into my brakes, which I had to then bleed out. It is possible that I was pumping too quickly though.
