Can anyone please tell me exactly where the bleeder valve is for the concentric slave cylinder? I am going to bleed the clutch fluid tomorrow and would like the jump right in having an idea. Thanks in advance guys.....Sam.

There is a small rectangular hole on the driver's side of the bell housing at the seam where it attaches to the transmission. The bleeder is sticking out of this about 1/4-1/2" with a black rubber cap on it and it is angled slightly upwards. You'll need a short 8mm wrench to make it alot easier also.

Is it easily accessible without having to remove other parts?

I wouldn't call it easily accessible but you dont have to remove anything to get to it.

Before you do anything read this and then perform the procedure.
You'll be a happier camper than screwing with the bleeder valve.

I've seen that before and given it a try, but 50+ pushes of the clutch pedal doesn't "mix" the new and old clutch fluid, so you're left with the new stuff still sitting in the reservoir. Sure, once you drive around for a bit it'll be mixed and ready to remove and replace again, but that whole process would take too long for me.

If the bleeder valve isn't that bad to access, I'm just gonna do it that way.

I tried to do mine awhile back and gave up on it since I wasn't having any problems with the clutch. I have a pressure bleeder I was trying to use, but I couldn't get the hose for the capture bottle and wrench on the bleeder at the same time.

So my only choice seemed to be to open the bleeder and let it spray all over me and everywhere else. I now have the ls7 combo in the car the bleeder is much more accessible.

Do you happen to remember the size of the hose you used?

It's part of my Phoenix bleeder kit. It seems bigger that 1/4. I think it's 5/16. It stretches so it's hard to measure.

Thanks! That'll come in handy once I finally get around to the job!
