Default Tick remote bleeder question...

This may be a dumb question but how does one close the bleeder? I have it screwed all the way in but the fluid keeps coming out...

Are you using an 11 and 14 wrench combo to close it? I just installed one over the weekend when me and a buddy put in my LS7 Clutch. Make sure you hold one end with a wrench and tighten the other end with the other wrench. It shouldn't have fluid coming out.

This remote bleeder should be mandatory for all when doing a clutch.

^^ +1 no problems with mine. I had to crank it kind of tight the first time because of the thread sealer they put on it.

my remote bleeder works great. only thing i'm thinking of doing is finding the correct size speed bleeder so i only have to pump till the airs all out the line. anyways you probably just need to crank it down tighter. good luck.

Tick Performance's bleeder already has a speed bleeder.
