Is there a easy way to access the bleed screw? With out having to remove the entire torque tube and such. How about installing a remote bleeder? I have a 2005 :patriot:

Cut a neat 6" X 6" hole in the floorboard. Make a cover out of 16 gauge aluminum and put a hinge on it. Then when you need access to the bleed screw, just lift up the floor mat, lift up the door, and you're there.

I have a 2005 :patriot: You will want to install a remote clutch bleeder. But you might as well do the clutch since the torque tube et. al. has to come out to put the clutch bleeder on in the first place. And you will want to replace the slave cylinder so you don't have issues with it later on.

There is a way to bleed clutch from the top @ resorvoir. E-mail me and I can e-mail you GM instruction on that procedure.

Bleeding the hydraulic clutch system is necessary whenever the level of fluid in the clutch master cylinder reservoir has been allowed to fall so low that air has been drawn into the master cylinder.
