Technical Bleeding clutch

[jumblies14]

Following my clutch problem below, I noticed that the reservoir was low on fluid so I thought I would try bleeding the slave cylinder.
I took out the air box and found a bleed nipple on the slave cylinder, but the nipple has no flats so it cannot be loosened with a spanner.
Has anyone come across this type of nipple and could tell me how it can be bled please.

Cheers all

I haven't done it myself but I believe you have to remove the circlip holding the fluid pipe and pull it back until brake fluid will flow.

I would think you would need to be very careful not to pull it too far out. It is possible it may have a stop on it to prevent this from happening.

Iam debating putting a little inline valve on mine for just this reason then bleeding would be easier.
