Installed the clutch and pedals today. I had a ton of wires and a module for the anti theft-remote car start in the way. Took me a minute to figure out what it was. I just slowly kept taking things out of the way until I had a clear shot at the clutch holes. I used a battery powered tight angle drill. Made for easy drilling. I put a roll of paper towels to hold the clutch master cylinder in place while I worked away on the inside.
Where did others locate the bleed line for the howe bearing?

When I installed the clutch master I cut away the padding into a square shape so the pedal assembly would easily go flush against the firewall. Sorry no pic. With the roll of paper towels holding the clutch master in place, I was able to get the drivers side nut on for the pedal assembly,(not much room), then the other nut and the top bolt.

I have everything buttoned up and was going to wait till tomorrow to bleed the clutch. I was checking everything out under the dash and noticed that the clutch master cylinder had leaked a little. I pushed in the clutch and sure enough some fluid leaked out of the rubber boot. So I guess I have to take that out tomorrow morning and see what the #$&% is going on. I was all ready to bleed it and test. Crapola.
