Default New slave + Tick, no bench bleed. Trouble?

I spaced bleeding the units before I put them on and now im finaly getting around to doing it. This should be a typical bleeding procedure, right? Or is there someting I can do to help ease/speed it up?

I dont have a speed bleeder and cant source a mighty vac in town.

God that speed bleeder is a freaking dream come true. The hardest part is just accessing the bleeder valve thats tucked inside the bellhousing. You need a second person.

This is an LT1 T56 so there is no bleeder screw. Its all slave oriented.

Does the tick master have a bleeder screw on it?

O crap forgot to notice the lt1. I installed a tick master a few weeks ago. There isn't any kind of bleeder screw or valve that I can remember from.

You don't necessarily have to bench bleed the hydraulics, but it makes it easier. Don't use a Mity Vac, use the GM method for LT1 hydraulics. A search should bring it up. Just keep pumping the slave rod until air bubbles stop coming out the reservoir.
