Ever wondered how to change the Clutch Slave Cylinder on an MG Midget? - look no further.
It's the job everyone hates, changing over the clutch slave, and bleeding it. Access is hard, and it seems to be hit and miss too.
I have made 2x alterations during the fitment of the clutch slave. One is notching out the top bolt hole to allow installation to be easier. The second is using a Peter May remote bleed kit. Meaning you don't need to hide under the car when bleeding now!
Obviously, this is my fumbled route into doing it. But I figured, see the mistakes I made, so you don't when you come to do yours!
Part 2 coming soon, which is bleeding it!!
Cheers and hugs
Andy

Always a fun job! I wish I'd had one of them there remote bleeders when I last did this job. otherwise it's a real bleeder to do it on your own. Nice one.

This is a really good video man I just did this on my recently past grandfathers 1970 midget and sm I did differently if you ever have to do the slave again there’s just barely enough room to reach your hand up and around the trans and that frame to get that top bolt in without the notch definitely a little bit more tricky but you can do it now I just have to struggle bleeding it wish me luck

Yes first thing to go on my midget. My parents laughing at my purchase and me wedging myself between the seat and steering wheel to that stupid little window by the pedals. The amount of times had to get out to let the blood get away from my head. Absolutely shafted by engineers.

Nice vid Andy. This is the first job I attempted on my Sprite 45 years ago. Once installed it took me 3 days to bleed it. With the Eezibleed thing I can do it in ten minutes now. I made up a remote bleed using some brake pipe. I also use a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission fluid and Acetone on rusted parts.

Another nicely put together instructional video, Andy. I'm currently restoring my 1972 midget and have pretty much all of the passenger side of the body to weld the panel's onto, so I'm a wee bit away from this task. As always, I look forward to the next exciting instalment of AMGA. Happy 2023.

Nice instructional video. Handy. When I tried to add a new bleeder to the slave, the bleeder didn't fit, wrong threads! Maybe for a 1275 engine when I have a 1500, and I wound up draining the whole system onto the floor. Then I got to learn how to bleed solo, yay. Hopefully that remote bleeder does the job!

@@AndysMGAdventures the game changer for me was the gunson bleeder. The1500 has a flexible hose that has a high point in the middle and I could not get of a bubble of air in the top. The gunson forced it out.
