Subject: | Clutch Actuator Cylinder Bleeder Screw Alignment |
Models: | 2004 Pontiac GTO |
Whenever a clutch actuator cylinder is reinstalled on models equipped with a manual transmission, the bleeder screw must be aligned in the center of the bell housing opening.
The illustration above shows a bleeder screw that is not aligned in the center of the bell housing opening. In this position, it will not be possible to fit a socket to the bleed screw for subsequent bleeding operations once the transmission is reinstalled.
In order to align the bleeder screw, it is recommended to install a long socket to the bleeder screw (1) prior to tightening the two actuator cylinder retaining bolts.
