best remote bleeder?
getting ready to do a clutch in my 05, who has the best remote Bleeder? I am leaning to the Katech, a little pricey but don't want to do this twice. Just wondering what everyone is using. Thanks everyone.

Abel Chevrolet here in Northern CA installed a Mantic dual disc clutch that I supplied and they recommended that I also install a remote bleeder. They installed a Katech remote bleeder and it is made of a quality stainless steel braided line. I have had no reason to bleed my clutch, but when I do it will be a breeze.

I am confident that someone will tell us they did, but I don't believe the average person can.

Katech,
It has a low profile at the turn, and you don't run into problems with clearance problems at the bend.
FYI, also heat shield sleeve it until it exits the top of the fire wall and you route the end under the driver fuel rail cover. This way if it come loose/starts dancing and end up near one of the headers/exhaust pipes, less likely to burn through it instead (same reason the the lower line for the slave off the master is heat shielded sleeve too).
