Greetings all,
While replacing the starter on my '60 TR3A, I had ocassion to disconnect the clutch slave cylinder as it was mounted incorrectly on its bracket. In the process, I introduced air into the system, including the clutch master cylinder (I hate it when the reservoir bottoms out before refilling it during bleeding). My question is how to best bleed the air out of the master cylinder without removing it from the car. Or, am I forced to bench bleed it? After bleeding the slave cylinder mercilessly, the system still has air in it, likely in the master cylinder.
Guidance on best practices for in-car or bench bleeding is much appreciated.
