No matter how careful you are, you still get air in the system. That's why
you get the fun of bleeding it off.

Subject: Master cylinder replacement
>
>Hi Everyone,
>
>I'm replacing master cylinders in my TR4 and when reviewing Bentley and
Haynes, they both say to bleed the cluch slave cylinder. My question is
why?
>
>It appears that all I need to do it to undo the brake Hydraulic line, undo
the push rod connection and unbolt it from the bracket that mounts to the
engine bay. What am i missing? Is there a reason to bleed the cluch slave
cylinder even though it is a separate entity and does not share the brake
hydaulics? I don't want to be a DPO but I am interested in doing as little
breakdown as possible.

and from all the previous e-mail I received on the subject, should fit ok.
I just need to swap pout connector rods.
