Folks, took clutch slave out of basket, rebuilt it, noticed bleeder was on bottom , and top was
line going to pedal, thinking to myself, to remove air it must be on the top(bleeder), well installed
unit and unable to stop bleeder from dripping .
Ok guys, does this darn bleeder really go on the bottom facing down and the line is on the top??
I just have to be sure, does not seem very logical, ahh but this is a jag.. Thanks Mike.

Yes it goes at the bottom. Yes it's stupid.

Yes, where it's accessible.

Or just change it to feed in from the bottom and out from the top :-

Cheers,

Rob Beere (and others?) have the feed into the bottom then a long bleed line to a bleed nipple on a bracket next to the manifold. Rob-Beere-racing.co.uk and look for clutch easy bleed. Wouldn’t be too difficult to make one yourself. I made a similar one to Dave Rose above.
