On the TR-3 (LHD) Bleeding order: Drivers then Passenger Rear;
Drivers then Passenger Front. You are correct in stating that there is a
"spur" from right to left front.
In reference to the EZBleed. The suggestion of using an old reservoir lid
makes a lot of sense unless it is like mine and was very prone to leaking
in the first place. I did find a replacement at the Tallahasee VTR
regional though. All you need to do is make sure you have a gasket in the
cap and tighten it down as tight as you can. The paper towel idea is good
as a back up though.
Good luck...
