[Roadsters] clutch slave bleeding, messed up the order?

[L Jordan]

Fergus
Not sure on the size but I am pretty certain you can put a speeder bleeder on
the clutch slave. Which is a good idea because in my experience ( limited) the
whole clutch system has to be set up well- no air, good hose, no leaks and
often overlooked, clutch pedal height.
Hope this helps
