If I cut a hole in the tunnel and can access the slave bleeder would I be able to install a remote bleeder like this one: http://www.tick-performance.com/tick...ulics/#bleeder without dropping the tranny?

I think the problem is going to be how to get a wrench in there to tighten the bleeder fitting to the slave. There is a thead floating around that someone asked Joey at Tick would it be possible to install a remote bleeder without dropping the tranny. He basically said it would be impossible, even if you removed the tranny crossmember and lowered the tranny. I want to know how hard is it to remove and replace the stock bleeder without cutting a hole in the floorboard?

These cars should have come with remote lines from the factory.
After I installed my remote line, I bought 4 Speed Bleeders for my brakes.
