LAPD bleeder questions
I got the LAPD bleeder for when i do the clutch install. Does this just hook up to the slave? And do you bleed it just the same as when you do brakes? Any info or tips i should look for?

I just installed mine, and I'm gonna install a speed bleeder on the end to aid in one-person bleeding. Also, After I installed mine, the system wouldn't bleed with the little rubber cup in the Clutch master.

I recommend cover the aeroquip line with rubber as is passed the fuel line. There have been several cases of chaffed through fuel lines and fires for those that route the clutch bleeder extender line against the fuel line.

Good suggestion, subdriver. It'd be easy enough to retrofit a thin rubber tube over the line by finding one you can cut to length and slide over the braided line from the remote engine bay end.

I found the line to be so short that I just routed it next to the braded slave to master line, and let it hang down under the car. It doesn't hang below any of the suspension, so it won't get "hit", but isn't in the engine bay either. I normally bleed everything when I have it in the air on the lift.
Good tip on the fuel line issue though...
