[Healeys] Big Healey Clutch Bleed

Two tips from the late, great Norman Nock.
1:- When the slave is off the bell housing, cut the head off one of the fixing bolts and loctite it into the top bolt hole. It will act as a dowel for the slave cylinder and only the (easy) lower bolt has to be removed in the future.
2:- Bleed the clutch circuit by using the slave piston to push air back up to the master. Air in the line will naturally rise to the top. It can then be pushed back to the master 
(And to atmosphere) by pushing the slave piston back into its cylinder. It will take two or three goes to complete the process, so pump the slave piston back out gently using the clutch pedal. Gentle and slow so that any air stays at the top bend of the pipe.
