TR4/4A TR4 CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER

[MikeH]

Hi All, I am having a problem bleeding my TR4 clutch. On searching the archives of another forum/mailing list, I found information that the bleed screw should be in the top position and the hose in the bottom. Is this correct? Thanks, Mike

You are correct, the bleed screw is on the top. I bled the slave by hooking a hose to the screw and then running the hose to a funnel arrangement. I then hung the funnel above the slave next to the engine. Several pumps and keeping the master full did the trick.

I too had trouble bleeding the slave cylinder because mine had the bleed nipple at 11:00 or 1:00 when mounted, I forget which, so I removed the slave cylinder and let it hang so the air bubbles would flow better towards the bleed nipple while bleeding and then remounted. That corrected my problem.
