Doing this will displace fluid from the slave into the master resevour so allow room for it. If this is not done the piston may not be moving far enough to effect full release of the clutch.

For the record how much free travel are you allowing at the clutch release lever and adjusting rod?

ok i got a question when i remove my slave from the bracket and the fork my slave will keep pushing the rod out, not a little bit but for a good distance almost seems like the full travel of the cyl. is that normal? ive tried bleeding the slave many times and it still does the same thing i ask this cause my slave is alway pushing on the fork causing the t/o bearing to press on the pressure plate. dont know if i have a problem somewhere or if my slave is defective.
