Replacing master clutch cylinder

Quick Q regarding replacing the master clutch cylinder.
Do i only need to bleed out of the slave clutch cylinder when i replace the master cylinder, or is there a bleed point further down that needs to be bled out as well?

Yes, you must bleed the slave once you install the new master. I always replace both at the same time, as in my experience one soon fails after the other. It is also a good idea to bench bleed the master before install.

x2 - bench bleed is a must. Then just start down at the slave and bleed away!
