umm, Under, well above the tranny theres a Y shaped thingy get the cap off and u can Bottle bleed it but Vac is so much easier imo...

Side note its towards the mouth of the tranny.


I did bottle method since i am too cheap to buy a vac and got lucky.

A Ford shop gravity bled my hydralic system on a truck once. There was a reservoir on the firewall, and they took the cap off, opened the bleeder and let gravity do it's thing. Took and hour because it came out real slow, but they got er done.

well bad a$$ i have a gravity bleeder at my school. I just haven't really heard anyone talk about this subject and I didn't feel like crawling under my car right now. So i'll put it on the lift friday and do it. I bought some ATE super blue racing dot4 but i just flushed/bled with dot3. So i think i'll wait till i can atleast get rotors, pads, and lines.

I kind of feel like a retard. It's the slave cylinder. I think i just had a brainfart when i asked this question. I have done this a few times on other cars. I have way too much information being crammed right now. Trying to pass ase's i can't think straight.!!
