I'm getting ready to replace the clutch master cylinder on my 59 TR3. I had a mechanic replace the brake m/c recently, but I'm thinking I can handle this one myself.
I'm interested if anyone has any hints for this relative novice on what I'm getting into.
I know the basics of hydraulic bleeding (although I've never actually done it). And I've read on VTR and this forum the discussions about bench bleeding.
First question: Is there anything I need to do to the m/c before I actually bench bleed and install? Just put it all together, fill it up, and then bleed the system?
Next, I'll open the floor to debate.
A. Bleeder assistance: vacuum pump type? pressure-assist type (e.g. Easibleed)? special bleed screws (SpeedBleeder)?
B. Bench bleeding: what's it worth?
Any other comments welcome, too.
