Maybe is does work from the top down where you are, I've heard hurricanes rotate in the "other" direction as does water going down the drain plus you folks are upside down as proven by looking at a map of the earth. Therefor "from the bottom up" to us would be from the top down to you. There, problem solved, we are both right.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Stevo,
I thought you believed the world was flat !!!
Just remember that we are so far in front here that we have done the days work before you guys even get to waking up!
I have never had to bleed a clutch bottom up. not even when I lived on your side of the pond.
Always put the slave & MC back in pre-filled with fluid. If you press the slave back right in, the volume of fluid in it displaced is often more than the volume needed in the line.
An old dodge truck a friend had needed the MC internals to be filled with a syringe as the hole from the reservoir was so small.
Good luck with your bleeding!!!

I know the worlds not flat because I've been out there and haven't fallen off the edge, However its still a mystery why people below 40 or 50N dont fall off .

Yes, pre filling the slave and MS is the way to go but you should still be able to bleed the system should your brake fluid get low and she takes a gulp of air.
