Default Remote bleeder installation question, again

A while back, I asked if anybody thought it was possible to install a remote clutch bleeder without splitting the driveline. Basically, I wanted to know if there was enough room to reach around to the top of the bellhousing, extract the OEM bleed screw, and replace it with the remote bleeder. The concensus answer was "no way."

Okay, how about loosening the front subframe and dropping the engine slightly? If it bought you an inch of clearance above the bleeder, think it would it be enough?

BTW, this isn't procrastination, really... I would just go out and do the job if I actually had a remote bleeder in my posession.

It's going to be very difficult to install like this, but it has been done.

BTW, I have them in stock / $85 - free shipping.



Stainless steel construction, Teflon lined hose, and speed bleeder.
