Doing LS1 - BMW swap - need bleeder line info Hi Guys:
We are in process of swapping LS1 & T56 into a BMW 325. Almost done, but got a few small questions to go. What have other swappers done to get a remote bleeder line out of the GM clutch slave cylinder? As supplied, the slave cylinder has a longgg bleeder screw. We won't have access to this screw when our drive train is in, so we need to remote it. I'm guessing that the thread for the bleeder is M10x1.5 or M10x1.25. The tip looks a little like an AN4. Is it? Any ideas on making it so it is accessible outside the tranny bellhousing??

I had one that leaked at the top end 
when I pulled my transmission I threw it away and put the stock one back in. I have not had any problems at all with the clutch hydraulics. The good old fashioned "pump the clutch pedal a few dozen times" did the trick easily and the stock one does not leak

IIRC the bleeder is set in the slave assembly just like the feed line, with a little pin and you can drive that out and use an aftermarket fitting to run a line to wherever you want the bleeding to happen.
