Yes, it's exactly the same principle, with the same procedures.

I had problems at first because I had to fit a banjo bolt with an integrated bleed nipple (the original bleed nipple on the clutch slave cylinder was seized) and so there was an air pocket above the bleed nipple. Taking the slave cylinder off and turning it slightly, allowing the air to escape, solved that.
