Default Mabye I'm Just Retarded

I'm new to the whole t56 thing, I just picked up a M6 for a swap into my z. I was looking over the hydrolics and I can't see anywhere to bleed the hydrolics. Am I missing something here or what? I have everything as far as I know, master, slave, resevior. Or is there a big difference between the LS1 setups and LT1 setups

Anyway if I'm missing something let me know, thanks in advance

Yes the LT1 setups have an external slave cylinder with a fork.
There should be an allen plug on the top of the slave cylinder. You have to reach up with the allen key, and bleed it similar to brakes. Have somebody apply pressure to the clutch, and open the plug. Once the pedal bleeds down, tighten the plug and release the pedal. Either that or you have to go the factory method & bleed it with a mity-vac thru the reservoir.

Thanks for the reply. I was trying to figure it out but didn't really look into it much.

Can I get the remote bleeder for one of the vendors here or are those just for the ls1 cars?

Thanks in advance

The remote bleeders are for LSx concentric slave cars only

Thats what I thought, but its not too hard to bleed the system on the lt1 cars is it? Just a 2 person job, or 1 with a mitivac or what ever the damn thing is called lol
