Clutch speed bleeder location - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have always had my speed bleeder routed back up to master cylinder and just kinda looped it around. Then while trying to bleed, it is all there in engine bay.

There is enough length to route out to driver front wheel along the brake lines. It would be much easier to bleed from there and a nice reminder to bleed clutch while working on brakes. But it would be in wheel well area and wire ties to brake lines.

Good idea, bad idea? Thoughts?

I think it would work fine. As long as it’s not interfering with other components and you have it routed so it won’t be compromised by accidentally being cut or damaged.

Here are some of the ideas. If you follow hard brake line to driver front wheel, it is easy enough to just tuck the bleeder into wheel liner (running either forward or behind. Right now I have it run through large hole under brake booster. Gives alot of length to work with. The wheel liner closes that area to prevent it from moving.

Looks like a good route. I’d be more than comfortable with that setup. Looks like your using a braided line, even better.
