Default Broken Slave Bleed Fitting (WTB Slave)

Went to bleed the clutch fluid on the GTO and on the first turn attempt this...

I don't get it. It came off like butter.

So I guess now would be a great time for a clutch. Anyone know where I can get at least a new slave before Tuesday? LMR/G-Force have clutches in stock? If anyone has a lead on a clutch kit to pick today, I'm all ears. A speed bleeder would be nice too.

Yea, I was amazed that it would just shear off so easily. Only using one hand on a 3/8 ratchet.

I just got my 2010 out of dealer ship for a busted slave cyl., five days later it started leaking and pedal was stuck on floor...the problem....the bleeder nut broke...they put a new one and bled the system, so it is a problem, the gto, g eight , and camaro hydraulics use some cheapo **** parts man, my advice us upgrade or don't work the clutch hard. Check out ticks remote bleeder and braided hose and mccloeds master cylinder , those should help plenty theres a thread about it in the camaro section

harbor freight has a couple cheap ones if you are doing it on the floor. I normally pick it up with a buddy and slide it on some guide bolts. Makes life pretty easy and you can build some guide bolts for a few bucks at lowe's.

I picked up a harbor freight jack this afternoon, doing this solo and getting it out was hard enough. Don't think I get get it back in on my own.
