Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I solved this problem with the help of gravity. I had to remove the clutch assy. from the truck. I zip tied the slave res. to a 5-gal bucket so the spillage would drip in the bucket. I sat this bucket on top of my work bench, hold the slave cyl as far down as possible to the ground. remove the plastic plunger along with the spring and set it close by. fill the res to the top and wiat a few sec. for the fluid to work down till it fills the slave cyl. put the plunger back in and have someone slowly push the clutch in and hold it. remove the plug one more time and fill the slave cyl with fluid. put the spring & plunger back in. I used elect tap to hold rod&piston in slave cyl to reinstall. Hope this helps anybody with the same problem, No need to spend another $300.00 for this. It can be done, and this works for sure.
