Default Who has experience bleeding the clutch slave cylinder?
Removing the middle bolt on the axle heat shield is a PITA....any tips? Or is it possible to reach the bleeder valve from the top?

TIA.

Side on both but IIRC the passenger side can be assisted from the front.

n/p. The top one is a bit of a biatch to remove - but it goes back in very easily

Doesnt having AWE and ACHTUNING on the side of your car provide a conflict of interest?

Default Huh? A conflict of interest for what?
The clutch slave is a pain in the *** to get to, what does this have to do with AWE and Achtuning?

Default We had a sticker for another race team on the side of our rally car...
Its pretty standard to have competing sponsors on a single car. These places don't pony up enough cash to get things exclusively.
