Austin-Healey 3000 Clutch Master, Bleeding, and Which Fluids to Use

[@rexkars6740]

Nice video! For me and my BT7, I find it easiest to just unbolt the slave (secondary?) from the bell housing to access the bleeder. Of course I clamp the piston rod to keep it from blowing out. I use an old turkey baster to draw out fluid from the reservoir, replace it with fresh fluid. Only takes a few pumps to flush the line.

It's definitely easier that way, though it's important to keep the bleed screw at the top, otherwise there could be air pockets still.

Hi, good video. What we do here in the U.K. is attach a braided hose to the bleed screw hole and cable clip it back where you can get at it with the nipple on the end. I have seen one car plumbed in solid with copper pipe and the outlet up under the bonnet. (Hood).

I've done that with my Triumph Spitfire. The bleeder ends up being very difficult to reach otherwise! It's something I should have done when replacing the slave cylinder, actually... of course having had the cover off for the slave cylinder replacement, I didn't realize that it would be important at the time. Great tip!
