FM146 Bleeder Screw location?

[99RangerKrazy]

I'm trying to bleed the clutch line on my truck (FM146 tranny). There isn't a bleeder screw on the master cylinder, and since it is an internally mounted slave cylinder, there should be a bleeder screw on the side of the tranny, correct? On what side is the bleeder screw located on?

Thanks

The bleeder is on the slave, not the trans

 

[chazzone]

you can access through the service plate

Yes it is on the slave, but the slave is in the bell housing. As far as service plate goes, not on my 86. Follow the hydraulic line to the bell housing. It is directly above the line, and it doesn't stick out much. I had the same problem and couldn't find it documented. So i took a flashlight and looked til I found it.

Yeah I grabbed a flashlight and went out and found it..pretty much right next to the hydraulic line. Not exactly the easiest thing to see and reach, but not too bad. Thank you guys for the response.

Question: When removing the master cylinder, do you just need to remove the bolts on the firewall? Does the pushrod from the clutch pedal just "come out" or does the pushrod need to be removed at the clutch pedal? Thanks again.

Yea the push rod on mine was bolted to the clutch pedal. The bolt on mine wasn't stock, but I suspect yours isn't too different.
