That's interesting and just shows how different things can be. I did just look
at the TRF TR6 Spare Parts Manual and it does not show a circlip as my TR4
Service Manual shows. I must say that's a surprise and while it will all stay
together when installed correctly on the engine / trans assembly there must
have been an amazing effort somewhere going on to cut costs if this circlip
was decided to be left out as a cost saving. All I can say is that I'm capable
of learning something every day.

Thanks for the advice, but I dont think anything holds the piston in on
mine. Others maybe different. John

Teri Ann,
I seem to recall that the piston is held in by a circlip so that shouldn't
happen, it's shown on the detail schematic of the slave cylinder in my TR4
factory manual. Doubt that it's different on a TR6. Piston won't fly out as
you say.
Also I doubt that he will push all that hard and with the bleed valve open
the pressure should be very low.
No 1812 overture in my head.

Why do say that Teri-Ann, what difference will it make?
Normal vacuum and pressure bleeding puts a low pressure differential to
make fluid flow though the system. Not enough to move the piston.
Press the pedal and the master cylinder pushes a large volume of fluid
with a lot of pressure. With nothing for the slave cylinder piston to
press against it gets shot out of the cylinder and you get to go hunting
for it after cleaning caustic brake fluid off the paint.

With the cannon passage of the 1812 overture going though her head.
