Default bleeding from slave cylinder?

is it safe to do a flush and fill on the clutch fluid while the slave cyler is hanging from the fluid line after i take the tranny out during my clutch install? i'm not a big fan of the drill mod i saw and was wondering about other alternatives besides the mity vac. the bleeder seems so much easier to get too while the trans is out of the way.

No it should be installed when bled. That way the slave cannot over extend.
You can get a remote bleeder for it, search here for that mod. That makes it alot easier to bleed.
The drill mod is a real good idea, I'd suggest doing it while your there. Has helped aliviate many problems others have had here.

yeah, you could overextend the piston and blow a seal.

install it first.

bleed it before you put the trans cross member back on...so the tail of the trans is down...it will make access to the bleeder much easier
