Default Bleed 89 clutch

Looked thru archives and didn't get what I wanted.

Put the new master cylinder in and I can't bleed the slave. There is a flat "nipple". Can someone point me in the right direction, do I need a special tool like a "Phoenix tool", yada? Thanks.

This slave has been off and someone stripped the bleed screw. I backed it out and I'll have to tap it or something to use it. Or get a replacement slave tomorrow. Thanks to all who read and sorry to bother.

I am not sure what to do about the stripped bleed screw...

didn't know about this when you emailed... :( sorry.

I think the bleeder is the same on the brakes... check that.

Good idea. If it's the same maybe I can just order the screw. I can tap it and then lock tight the screw and put a hex nut or bleeder valve in it. :cheers:
