    If the cylinders are metal they have bleeders, if they are plastic (like ours) they don't . If you buy a stock GM unit (we didn't) they come pre-bled and ready to install. (Jeff didn't know that until after he bought this set-up). I've been told it will self bleed once in the vehicle because the master is mounted on the firewall right above the slave, but it is a very very slow process. That's why it's hard to get it going. Once it starts working (somewhat like priming a pump) it will work fine. They say you can do a maintenance bleed by simply pumping the master cylinder a few times using short strokes & then a full stroke. That forces the air out of the master cylinder & up the reservoir tube.
    The problem is this bleeding process only removes a few little bubbles at a time, which is why the first time bleed is such a pain.

    This is what it looks like...
