OK. Here's the deal. For about 35-40 bucks you can buy the clutch slave
cylinder bleed extension which will, in the future save you a lot of
aggravation as you will then be able to bleed from inside the engine
compartment with no strain or pain. This extends the bleed line to above the
oil filter. Email Doug Reid at: mrfinespanner@earthlink.net. I would suggest
that you go ahead and get this before you start to bleed if you are willing
to wait a week or so. Then, use a speed bleeder at the tip of it and you can
bleed by yourself. No financial interest, yadda yadda yadda just a very
happy customer of Doug's
If you want to do it right now, you can get to the bleeder by pulling your
tranny cover or by underneath the car but you need small fingers.

Subject: [Healeys] BJ 8 Clutch Question
Just replaced the flexible hose to the clutch slave cylinder and now I need
to bleed the system. However, I cannot get to the bleed screw. Is there
some technique I am missing? Thanks for your suggestions.
