The only real trick to bleeding the ERA clutch is to make sure you have the nose of the car nice and high. What I do is put plastic surgical tubing on the bleed screw of the slave and have the tubing run in to a plastic bottle of DOT-3 or 4 fluid. I think that bleeder screw on the slave is like 3mm. When you crack it and start pumping you should have a really easy pedal push and a nice strong squirt in to the bottle. If you don't, then that tells you the problem is with the hydraulics and is not because of a clutch/pressure-plate/fork geometry issue.
