Now it’s from the frying pan into the fire. Best of luck bleeding that sucker. I hate that job, but it’s worth it.

Thanks, everyone for your responses.. I’ve now rotated the adapter/filter about 20 degrees from vertical and there’s now plenty of access space to the clutch slave bleed screw. 👍

Greetings, all!

I have a spin-on filter adapter on my '74 TR6. I find that when the filter is vertical, it makes using the bleed screw on the clutch slave difficult to maneuver.

If I loosen the adapter plate and rotate the assembly clockwise  a bit to rotate the filter away from the clutch slave bleed screw, how far from vertical can the filter be without any issues, anyone know?

Thanks, folks!

Dave
