well topic says it all.. i got the pedals and hydrolics as a complete assembly.. how do i bleed it? is it just like bleeding brakes? where is the bleeder and what tools do i need to open and close it????

 

theres an allen head bolt in the top of the slave cylinder in a small tower right behind where the hydralic line attaches to the slave cyl. carefull not to over tighten though, the bolt is brass the slave cyl. is plastic. go figure. fill the resivior, pump 5-8 times, loosen the bolt, etc. just like brakes.

 

how long do you do this for? until fluid comes out of the bolt?

 

the way we do it at work, is full the master cylinder up, leave the cap off, and pump the clutch pedal, you might have to pull it up by hand because theres no pressure. make sure it comes all the way up. After you pump it for a lilttle while you should start to feel the resisance and most of the time this is all I do. Sometimes I pump the pedal a few more times, hold it down and crack the bleeder. Then you have to pump it up again. Hope this helps.

the gm method is to do a gravity bleed, let the slave hang at a 45* angle. never worked for me, never could get it to bleed liek brakes do. only thing that's ever worked for me is the pheniox injector and reverse bleed.

 

If you got it as an assembly from GM, it's already bled. Just put it on and leave it alone, there's nothing you're going to be able to do to improve it.
