Bleeding the clutch master cylinder via the hose below the wipers, does this fully bleed the system,or do you need to also bleed the clutch by the gearbox somewhere? Changing the master cylinder on friday and any help or advice appreciated, like getting access to the lower bolt head (beneath the cylinder). Think I may be able to stop it turning by bending a flat bladed screwdriver and wedging it below? My 14 year old son is a good fit in the footwell to undo the nylok nuts!!!!! Christ knows how you change the brake servo!

No that fully bleeds the system. I've totally refreshed all my oil this way, easy to see as the new oil was clear, but the old oil was dirty.

If you bend a large flat blade screwdriver you can jam it under the bolt to undo it,i did mine that way.When replacing it weld another nut on the side of the original nut,this will stop it turning when you do it up.
