Hi I'm just buying my first Fiero and there's a bit of a clutch hydraulic problem with it, so I hope I just have to bleed the lines. However I'm scared that i might have to remove the engine to replaced the lines. Any advice?

There is no need to pull the engine for the clutch line, if bleeding does not work you most likely need a new master or slave cylinder due to corrosion inside the cylinder. If you do buy new get them from Rodney Dickman he can be found on line. Best way I have found to bleed the clutch is raise the front of the car nice and high and open the bleed screw on the slave cylinder and just let gravity do the job. Keep an eye on the master during this to make keep topping up the fluid. Keep adding fluid till the fluid coming out the slave is nice and clean with no bubbles of air.

Also be sure you don't have the other common problems with the clutch systems.
Bent clutch pedal, cracked slave cyl bracket (4spdman)

Second on getting Rodney master/slave if needed due to corrosion inside the cylinders

You guys are awesome, thanks
We have been focusing on new rotor, caliper and pads this week. Hopefully we can get to the clutch next week.
