The slave is on the front of the engine right in front of the
fan. Have someone push in the clutch while you look at the
slave just to see how it works.
The bleeder valve faces the passenger side. Disconnect
the battery before putting your hand down there near the fan.
I think it is a 7mm bleed valve. I messed it up the first
time and got some air in it (clutch pedal went straight to the
floor). I had used a larger piece of tubing then I used on the
brakes and I think it leaked some air back into the slave
(the hardest part of the job is getting the tubing over the
bleed nipple). A second shot at it worked fine and the clutch
does feel better now (quite a bit smoother now).
I also have a Power Bleeder and to flush the clutch on the second
try I just topped up the brake fluid resevoir and hooked up
the Power Bleeder and pressurized it (no need to put fluid in
the Power Bleeder). This works cause you can see the brake
resevoir while bleeding the clutch. I also only used about 8
PSI so it went slow.
One thing, when you go to loosen the bleeder valve the entire
slave unit will probably rotate and move a bit. Same thing
when you close it up (I guess that is why they have the bracket
kit available). Just be ready for it since you don't want to
slip and drop your 7mm wrench when trying to close it.
