Series 2A clutch bleed access

If its a 2a with a cross shaft it's pretty straightforward if I remember correctly. Just gravity bleed ours with no problem, guess you could take the transmission tunnel or floor out if you wanted, pretty straightforward.

So I don't need access to the slave cylinder?

Sorry, what do you mean, what are you trying to do bleed the clutch?
All I did was release the bleed nipple and let it flow through, make sure the master cylinder stays full of fluid.
Have you even located the slave cylinder?

The slave cylinder is vertical on the clutch bell housing right? But I'm having a hard time getting to the bleed nipple, which I assume is on it? Also in Canada, so it's fitted with a heater on the bulk head cabin side.

Is there a grommet you can remove on the bulkhead/tunnel area to get to the slave?

Aha I remember now, big rubber grommet.
Is it lhd in Canada? I think it is.
There should be a bleed nipple in the top of the slave cylinder next to where the flexi pipe goes into it.
You might be able to undo from inside the engine bay with suitable socket and extensions if not accessible from inside the cab.

Yes LHD. I’m going to try from the inside the engine bay again. Otherwise I need to disconnect a few hoses to get the heater off. Thanks for all your help everyone.
