Default How do you get to the bleeder valve on the slave???????

#$@%#%$@%$%$@%$$@#$%#@ Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Damn GM didnt make anything easy. I have tried and tried and for some reason I cant get a socket around my bleeder valve. I have tried 7/16 and 11mm. I cant get either of them to go on.It feels as if my slave is angled slightly downward and wont let the socket slide on, but I know the slave has two bolts in it and it shouldnt be able to move...... Help me out here guys, Im turning this into a damn project <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />

Well after considering drilling ahole in my floorboard I decided to grind down the socket and give that a try. My slave must have ben slightly canted downward as I suspected cause the socket popped right on. Time to go bleed!!!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
