Magic trick to bleed the slave cylinder on 996 Turbo
In the midst of replacing shave cylinder.
Got it out and back in... time to add fluid, bleed and test. I can’t figure out how to crack the bleed valve on top of the slave cylinder I’ve got no room. Wrench doesn’t fit up there and while I can get a crowsfoot in it I can get a ratchet on itehats the trick to Bleeding the slave cylinder on 996 Turbo? Frustrating as there are many difficult steps I have overcome to get stuck here.

If it's anything like bleeding a slave on a G50 then you may need to "make" your own tool. And use a pressure bleeder...

Gravity bleeding should work on any hydraulic circuit as long as the reservoir is higher than the bleed screw and the fluid path is open, yes? If you're impatient, you can tap your foot. Instead, crack the bleeder screw and allow air to escape until you see a steady flow of fluid. To see the air bubbles in 3D, attach a hose to the bleed valve, then close.
Using a pressure bleeder is like prepping for a colonoscopy instead of eating green veggies. YMMV. Sherwood |

The issue I had was I couldn’t get anything I had on the bleed screw.
But then I found a stubby 11mm and that worked. My brake bleed 11mm had an offset that hit the tranny tunnel and my crows foot wasn’t working either. I had all the other bleed equipment. Have to be test driven... but I think she’s good to go.
