Well I had to change out my slave today. Did not want to fight with a wrench on the bleeder fitting or a mess of spilled fluid in the bell housing.

Here is what I came up with, line works as a wrench and a bleeder extension.

Front shot.........


Side shot............


Bleeder in the closed and stowed position. Held in place by a mount bolt.


Here is the bleeder in the open position, with a flex line installed no mess no fuss.

Looks good. Very creative and functional.

Looks good, only issue that I see is that you will have to put a lot of fluid thru it to ensure that there is zero air in the system. You won't be able to see the spurts of air like normal.

That's damn cool.

If you decide to make any more, please PM me and let me know.. My transmission is going to be out of the car in 2-1/2 weeks...

You could make a killing selling those, if the price was right. That is the cleanest t56 Ive ever seen lol

With as much as an issue it is to bleed the hydraulics in our cars, I'm surprised this wasn't a bigger hit. I know I for one have it bookmarked.

That's why a Mity-Vac is awesome. Fill it with fluid, set the pressure and let it loose.

Thanks
Tired of having a mess inside the bellhousing, have had the idea for a while know but never put it into action.

Was able to carry out a normal bleeding process, looking for bubbles was not a issue. Might add when much quicker which made the wife a bit a little more at ease. Due the fact I was using her leg.


Thanks.......right now the only way to produce something like this. It would be slave specific. Due to the fact that each bleeder port stops at a different position. Trust me I tried this on the junk slave 1st on the bench. Then swapping the bleeder port to the new slave, clocking was off.

Thank you......Yes it is a clean T56 want to keep it that way.

I like new and different ideas, good job! But, you still have to get under the car to bleed it and still have to pull the tranny to install it. Why not just install a remote bleeder line to the engine compartment?

All right, I'll bite....

How did you attach the line to the bleeder fitting?

Would a Lincoln MIG 135 work (it is the only welder I have access to)?

Any ideas on how to connect the hard line?

Not sure how the OP did his, but brazing or welding will work and your Lincoln mig will do it. I welded a steel AN fitting on the end of a stock bleeder. Not sure the type of steel the bleeder is and it's not real happy about being welded on, but nothing that a grinder can't smooth down and it's not going anywhere.

I tig welded the line to the bleeder fitting along with the small tab.

This was a stainless steel line, mig would have just made a mess of it.

That is sick. Hands down that is the coolest thing I think someone has came up with.
