    anyone know if you could get to the bleed nipple by removing the right hand wheel and arch? Might be easier than removing that huge lower engine cover.

    The nipple is on the right side of the gear box.
    I’d say it’s possible to get to it by removing the right rear wheel and inner fender but you’d need one heck of an extender to get to it.

    I suggest you remove the floor panel instead. Waaay easier.

    Worlds easier.

    I built ramps from a 2X10 that is layered (bottom piece being longest at about 30") so it's easy to drive up the ramp slowly and cautiously

    Raises the cars about 6" which yields great room with a tremendous comfort factor.

    If it looks like it might be leaking replace it with the Hill Engineering part before you attempt to bleed the system

    You should bleed the brakes at the same time
