>The "right way" is whatever works. I've found that usually, if the MC is
already bled, I can adequately bleed the slave by just opening the bleed
valve (with the front of the car higher than the rear) and waiting for
fluid
to seep out. Any residual air seems to works it's way out quickly as I
drive the car.

The neat thing about the self adjusting cylinders (used on TR6's et al) is
there is some room to compress the slave cylinder (push the rod in. You
can, from under the car, crack the bleeder and push the pushrod into the
cylinder against the little spring forcing the air out the bleeder. Snug
the bleeder screw and release the rod and it will extend to it's normal
position drawing fluif from the reservoir in the master cylinder.
On the TR2-4 cylinder the return spring pulls the piston all the way home
so this is not an option for this type of system.
