I think you're right. Just gravity bled and now solid as a rock.

I'm not 100% where I went wrong.

I did this:
1. Remove slave
2. Remove and cleaned metal shaft
3. Clamped slave so it didn't expand
4. Attached bleeder tube
5. Began bleeding process (with a few pumps to get it going)
6. Topped up fluid multiple times
7. Checked, saw clear fluid, with no air bubbles
8. Put it back together and went for a drive.

I noted it was smoother (because of step 2) but it grabbed 1-2inches from the floor. Now after I gravity bled it without removal of the slave some air came out. Not sure where or how that got into the system.

I'm assuming the bleeder was the highest point when you were bleeding.
Sometimes what happens when the fluid is lower than it should be is when you release the pedal or in this case lift the pedal it causes a vortex and suck in air.

It probably wasn't now that I think about it. It rolled onto it's side during the processes.

I want to bleed my brakes next. Think it'll be simpler? I don't want to get air into the ABS system.

Just make sure you keep the reservoir full. Keep in mind that there is a front half and rear half of the reservoir so look closely.
