Default Where is a good place to get a remote bleeder?

I tried LAPD but their site caused google chrome to give me a warning about it not being legit and their phone number isnt working today.


any other place to pick one up that will work on a ls7 slave?

LAPD is the way to go. I couldn't get a hold of them when I first called either, but I submitted a message to them through their website and they called me the next day. From doing research they are the ONLY vendor who makes this part for our cars. The other options are Tick which will not fit, and Monster, who will not sell you one unless you buy their whole kit.

You can get the Tick remote bleeder for an LS7 through Monster Clutch Co.
I think they are $70. Just make sure you tell them it's going on an LS7 slave because the fittings are different.

Thanks

When I called Tick they said their bleeder would NOT work with the LS7 slave or the CTS-V slave.

That's why you have to call Monster, they have special fittings made to make it work.

Thanks

Monster said they will not sell the bleeder unless you buy their entire kit.

I added the LS7 option to the Tick bleeder on my web site.
You dont have to buy a clutch to buy the bleeder.

I agree they told me the same thing.

If the bleeder fits the LS7 it will fit the stock V slave. I transfered mine over.
