Seriously, Listen, I did this with the said parts a few months back. Search and find my thread.

I bent the bleeder line a little, but no need to notch anything really.

Maybe Tick changed their fitting a little.

I had to bend the Slave line up, so the bracket would line up with the bellhousing.
Hahaha! It's not a matter of not believing that it didn't work for you. I'm glad you were able to make it work with a little bending to straighten it out.

What I'm trying to say is, if you could avoid having to straighten out the 45 degree fitting on the bleeder line that's not supposed to be bent by just getting a bleeder with the straight fitting, wouldn't that be one less thing that could go wrong?

Tick hasn't changed anything, it's just clarification that the straight bleeder for the 2010+ Camaro fits the LS7 slave and would be a better choice for CTS-V guys using an LS7 slave.

I fully understand and what I am saying is that you DON'T have to straighten it out.

If you are not strapped, you might be able to bring it to my house and roll with my ****, since I have everything and then I can get my bud that helped me, so you will have two guys that have done it twice each.

I have all the tool and then some.

Do you have to align the flywheel?
I was watching this video and it said align the flywheel with the 7 hole.

Yes, you have to align the hole in the flywheel with the hole in the crank.

Yup. The red circle is the aligning dowel. Unless you just Muffed it up and bolted the FW on crooked, which I doubt, then you are fine.

I haven't found anything that says that you HAVE to align the holes, maybe someone here can chime in regarding this.
But that is how I have found my old flywheels installed and how I have installed my new setups in both my previous 01 SS and my current V.

Check out these pics from lollygager8's install

I think you are correct in the "aligning" with the 7th hole. That is all that I have heard. It is hard to tell from your picture if you have.

No need to apologize, you are learning.

Do you have the bushing install too? I need to do mine as well!

I have a Motive bleeder to do the clutch bleeding if you need it.

Flywheel is reinstalled, Clutch is in and rear diff bushing is replaced.

Bell Housing will not go back in. Look like the Kook header will have to come out

Removing headers is never as easy as it should be. But maybe that's my impression having lived here in Utah for a while now ...

Kinda glad I don't have LT's at this moment, since I'll be diving into this myself this weekend

If your speedo and reverse lockout is not working you just connected the wrong clip in plug, one will always be disco'ed just swap and you should be good. Easy fix, glad to see this got done.

Reverse is lockout.
