help bleeding my clutch
i posted a message about bleeding my clutch. well i went to bleed my clutch on monday and i ran into a slight problem. my haynes manual says to slip a piece of hose over the bleeder valve and then loosen the valve. but i don't see how that's prossible because of the way the valve is shaped. what i mean is when i place the hose over the bleeder valve it covers the nut part i would loosen. any help would be appreciated since this is my daily driver, and i'm probly blindly over looking the solution.
thanks

You are on the right track, break the bleeder free with the box end wrench and then slip some clear tubing just over the nipple. Use an open end to now open and close for bleeding. Tighten with the box end wrench when done.
If you are tryin to bleed the master, you will find its easier to:
1. pull the clutch rod free from the pedal
2. remove the starter interlock on the clutch push rod
3. remove the circlip that is retaining the piston in the master
4. pull the cylinder out just a bit to allow the air and a little fluid to come out
5. push the cylinder in a couple of times and repeat #4
6. reinstall the circlip reconnect the rod to the pedal and the starter intelock.
7. pump the clutch a couple of times and then bleed the slave as you started to.
CAUTION BE SURE TO KEEP THE MASTERCYINDER TOPPED OFF DURING ALL OF THIS.
