    JT, I was a Jeep tech at a dealer for years, I would run a hose from the bleeder to a glass bottle half full and pump the clutch until you don’t see any more bubbles. That worked most of the time.

    Happy New Year, JT. I have been fighting health problems for 37 years. Found out this year I have an autoimmune disorder that has caused multiple heath problems. I have a new medicine that cost 7620.00 a month and my insurance pays 7250.00 witch is a blessing. I had a 1975 GMC three quarter ton with a 454 and a auto Trans with positive track rear end and I made all the four wheel drive trucks look bad. I also had a Ford Branco I could get my GMC out of a bad mud hole. Thanks again for helping remember the work me and my dad did together. You don't know how your videos help past the time on bad days.
    God Bless You and Your Farm.

    Hey JT another great video.
    Derek over at Vice Grip Garage here on the UA-cam sells a product that he calls the "Hood Saver 6000" that is a pair of flat bars that attach to the underside of the hood on a squarebody truck like yours that keep it from folding in half. I think he charges $60 for a pair, but they probably wouldn't be that hard to make on your own. It would let you put the springs on the hood and not have to prop it up every time you needed to work under the hood of the old Big Block.

Anti-seize the threads on the nut and on the break line, then slide the nut over the anti-seize and thread it in to whatever you are working on, calipers, wheel cylinder, master cylinder, ect. I have never had a problem with them rusting up solid again.

    You could use a "pressure brake bleeder" kit that would sure come in handy for alot of the work you do. I bought one years ago and it makes life much easier when bleeding brakes by yourself. Looks like a pump up sprayer with adapters for different master cylinder reservoirs. The name brands are much more expensive now but you might look on that one website everyone orders from.

    Hey JT, see if you can get hold of a pressure bleeder, it forces brake/clutch fluid through the system from the resevoir via a set of caps that either thread or clamp on, you put around 2.5l in it, pump the pressure up & open the bleed nipple. total gamechanger! love mine, has made the workshop air much cleaner without the frequent bad language!!

    Once upon a time a friend of mine asked me to help replace the clutch and master/slave cylinder apparatus in his Massey Ferguson something. I want to say it was a dayna series/transmission...idk cant remember the details anymore, it was from that era. Anyway we fought and fought to get that thing to bleed out. Dealer told us good luck. We got it working somewhat, but it was never great. Seems to me there was a high spot in the line and no blead port up high, just the slave cylinder. Couldn't get enough volume through it to push that bubble out.

    On my 1961 apache 20 I rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder. It's all on compartment. If a wheel brake cylinder is leaking well you lost clutch as well.
    I had no one to help. So I just let gravity feed for a while. Then I opened the bleeder and let I gravity bleeding while I did something else.
    It's been great all these yrs. Don't use it no more. May spend some time on it. Or sell it. Replace the chevy with a ford.
    Truck has been great never left me stranded.

    JT I have an 88 C-1500 with a 350 and the sorry ass Getrag 5 speed transmission. It has the external slave the is on the driver side of the transmission. As you already know about 4 feet of hydraulic line that is routed over the top of the bell housing and back down to the slave cylinder. A real PIA to bleed. I hate the design and hate the transmission. But I also have a 96 HD 3500 with the Big Block Vortec and NV 4500 transmission and internal slave and throughout bearing. I love it. I can shift it with 2 yes TWO fingers. Easy to bleed but the secret is that the transmission bolts can get loose causing the distance between throughout bearing and pressure plate fingers to exceed working limits. I found this out by accident. tightened the bolts and now itis smooths as a Gravy Sandwich. The 88 is still a PIA. And I still hate it.
