I'm think you do have to pull the trans down to do it in the 05/06s (not 100% sure though). I think the design was changed in 07.

Very, easy, jack car up approx. 1.5-2.0 feet or draive up ramps. Go get a 1/4" ratch drive with one or two extensions with a 10mm deep socket. Assembly socket to ext.'s get uhder car on drivers side and fish assembly onto bleed screw now attach driver and turn approx. a 1/4" turn to open a 1/4" turn to close.

thanks / you cant get to bleed screw to good , i had to use a wrench, it seems i finially got the air out / you can see throwout bearing pushing in fingers on preasure plate about a 1/4 in but clutch still doesnt disengage / mcclead still says i must have air in it but i dont think so / looks like either bad install or something wrong with clutch itself / i put everything in new flywheel, clutch .bolts etc
