Default HELP! - bleeding hydraulic clutch

Okay, Saturday I re-installed my rekluse clutch but had one issue. My dad accidentally pumped the clutch while I had things disassembled - pushed the throw-out rod quite a ways out. Installed rekluse, but it wouldn't engage as the throw-out rod was pushed out. Couldn't pull in the clutch lever either as there was too much pressure. I cracked the bleeder on the slave cylinder, but must have got air in the line as I now have no feel at the lever. Never bled a hydraulic clutch before - is it the same as a brake? I will have to pull the slave cylinder off the bike as actuating the clutch override on a rekluse with the engine shutoff is a big nono. Tips? Thanks,

Steve
