JHR Clutch line install ???

I got a JHR braided steel clutch line that i'm hoping solves the clutch pedal dropping. What do i need/how do replace/bleed the system after install?

The clutch is self bleeding. You just need to pump the pedal a few hundred times.

Didnt want to start a whole new thread...so I brought this one back from the depths!

Well in regards to the clutch line....all I can say is I LOVE IT!! Installed mine tonight (20min tops) and it did exactly what I was hoping for....got rid of that **** 1-2 crunch! Sooo very smooth. Had a little trouble with install, the lower portion with the 90deg angle. The clip that attaches the 90 to the trans got a little twisted and my dumb @55 installed the clip 180 deg from where its supposed to be. So fingers crossed I dont ever have to change it!

As stated be sure you check the fitting ends before install...I had to tighten mine too!

PICS!
UPPER PORTION:


LOWER 90 deg bend:

ordered it straight from Joe Heck Racing Store....
The newer cars do not have a valve for bleeding, it is self bleeding. SO, all you have to do is press the clutch about a 100 times (Literally) the first 50 or so it will get stuck to the floor with spring pressure, just pull it up with your hand.

I still have a brand new JHR high volume clutch line that I meant to install on my 2012 Boss, that I bought from Lethal Performance. However, I traded-in my Boss. If anyone's interested, then please send me a PM. It's brand new in its original packaging.

Thanks. I posted it FS in the thread below priced a little lower after viewing what they sell for now on Lethal's site.

It happens in at least some 13s b/c mine does it, but the sticking issue is with a spring. This might help with clutch feel and response, though. Im gonna try it soon but had to grab an oil cooler that just became available again and Im a man of meager means.
