I live in Omaha, near 132nd and Center. Any of you guys go to the wednesday night "car show" on 84th and center in the parking lot behind the bar?
Anybody heading up to Glenwood for drag racing Friday night? Weather is supposed to be good....

Also, do any of you know a mechanic with a lift that can bleed my clutch for me? I cant get a wrench on that damn bleeder valve to save my life....

Miller456 has done it. there will be some of us going to the track friday. i just started my cam swap a little bit ago, so we will see how far i get by friday... i live on 144th and harrison. shoot me a pm if ya want to take the cars out sometime.

you can lift up the carpet and cut a small hole from the inside of the car. it's somewhere by your right foot, wherever the bleeder valve would be. it's enough room to get a wrench in there and do it by yourself. you could probably to a search and see some pictures of what i'm talking about.

yep was gay getting the hole on the right spot but makes bleeding it by yourself a snap. The write up is in the sticky in the manual trans section.

Here is basically what you do, I cant find the pics in the stickies anymore unfortunately.

If you are not squeamish about cutting into your car, you can make traditional bleeding a one man job. Underneath the car, do your best to put a dent in the transmission tunnel, straight across from the bleeder screw, with a punch. Get into the car and pull back the carpet around the pedals, and cut a small ‘access square’ so that you can also fold back the plastic, foam-lined piece beneath the carpet. Under that you will find the dent you made. With a 1” holesaw, cut a small part of the tunnel out. Now, with a 7/16” socket and a few extensions, you can reach the bleeder while being in the car! From here you can operate the pedal with your hand and use your other hand to tighten/loosen the screw. When you are done, simply put a piece of duct tape over the hole and recover with the carpet. It does not introduce any more noise into the cabinet.
