bleeding clutch system 87 max???

I've bled my clutch on my 95 max and there are two places from which you need to bleed the system. On my dad's 87 max I have only found one place. Is there more than one place to bleed the system on a 87 max and if so can some one point me in the right direction?

2nd gen max only has one bleed point. They don't have the cooling coil like the 4th gen has, so there isn't a need to a second bleeding point. Basically the bleed bolt is on the slave cylinder itself. If you look at the crossover pipe coming from the rear exhaust bank, just follow it forward, right near where the crossover and the front exhaust bank join, you should see a little heat shield under that. Right under there is the slave clutch cylinder. There is a little fitting that sticks out for bleeding. That help any?

Sure does, Thanks.

As far as I can tell, its pretty easy to see and reach looking down from the front of the car.

Lol, with the exception of the gap in the hood and the slightly messed up bumper!
