Thanks for the advice & info chaps - all duly noted.

I haven't got a bleed nipple because it's on the slave, which isn't connected yet* - so I can't pump fluid back up the bleed pipe to the master cylinder. (* The gearbox is still out because it was easier to replace the brake pipes without it.)

All I've got is this gold connector on the end of the MC outlet pipe:

So it seems to me the best thing to do is hook a Gunson Eezibleed up to the MC and force all the old fluid out via the gold connector.

What do you all think?

Btw, I've already got a Sealey VS820 which could be used instead of a Gunson. It doesn't need a spare tyre but it has this chunky metal attachment which will need more clearance above & around the MC to get it screwed on.

I reckon it needs 6cm clearance above the MC and around 7.5cm to the side.

Hmm.
