Tricks for bleeding clutch???
I installed the ls7 cluth and ls2 flywheel and ls6 slave and master,. i know they are pre bleed from gm,. however im having using with the clutch randomly sticking to the floor when trying to shift second,.. and i would rather not drop the torque tube just to bleed the slave. are there any tricks. because from what i see it would be in possible to get atool above the the torque tube and bell housing to bleed the slave... any help would be appreciated

Why didnt you install the LAPD remote bleeder at the time of doing the clutch? 
You dont need to drop the torque tube to bleed the clutch but unfortunately, you will have to remove the center section of exhaust to get to the slave cylinder. Be patient, it takes a lot to bleed the clutch without the remote bleeder.
Goodluck.

You can bleed it without removing the torque tube but your going to take a bath in fluid. Unless you install the LAPD remote bleeder. And yes this can be installed without removing the torque tube but you'll have to make a couple of tools to get it done. I did mine and am so happy that I can now bleed the clutch without removing the exhaust or tunnel plate. The bleeder in the slave is a 7/16 hex head bleeder.
