Attessa 4wd Help Plz! Bleeding...

[oRiCLe]

I have almost completed my rebuild of my 32 gtr, it is sitting on the hoist at the moment and i am scratching my head as to where the so called "air bleed plug" that the service manual says to pull out to get constant hydraulic pressure to bleed the 4wd is, i have searched in the boot and under the car to no luck, if someone could point me to where it would be that would be great, the manual says "lower dash side" on the location and the plug is supposed to be white or something, thanks!

Its a white connector behind the driver kick panel next to the accelerator pedal.

you don't need to worry about the white plug....just put the car up on stands, start the car in neutral....anytime the engine is running there is pressure in the attesa system.

then there are 2 bleeders, one at the rear of the transfer case and another bastard above the rear drive shafts.

thanks for that, worked a treat, all bled

With this, how do you actually bleed it?

Same as a brake bleed?

Can someone explain in very explicit detail?

Cheers

The bleeding is dead simple, easier than brakes because the fluid is under pressure.

Make sure the resoviour in the boot is full, then with time the motor is running, put a piece of clear pipe over the bleeder (same as brake line) and open the bleeder. Let the fluid come out until there are no bubbles. Do it up again.

See....easy

<bump>

I wanna bleed the attessa in my car. It doesn't look terribly complicated, but I would *really* appreciate a couple of pics in a "howto" thread.

Oh - make sure you include a suggestion (or three) about appropriate replacement fluid.

I just don't quite have the confidence to try it without pics.

Thanks
