Clutch Slave Cylinder Bleed Screw Position

Hi,

Should the bleed screw be installed on top of the clutch slave or beneath as I've seen photos of both ?

For access purposes I'd prefer it on the bottom. However I'm sort of assuming it should it go on top in order to enable elimination of air when bleeding ?

Regards,

Neil, mine is at the bottom, but as you say photos will show either position.
For bleeding the clutch (or brakes) will you be using these?

I'm sure you'll have read this before, but it should help with bleeding the clutch as well as the brakes:

Many thanks Geoff. I rather hoped I could put it at he bottom to make access easier. I wasn't aware of the speed bleeders but had read a few of the threads re bleeding & have invested in a Mityvac.

Cheers !

Mine is at the bottom (S2) and it leaves a little air in the line. I find a good few actuations or an afternoon drive allows it to self bleed the last bits out.
