a little help please

[J4CKS]

My clutch fluid needs topping up due to a leak (need to top it up so I can get to the garage). The problem is I can't figure out how to do it... the metal cap on the cylinder isn't threaded and appears to have a small puncture hole in the metal to fix it in place. Any suggestions would be great!

Suspect you'll find a threaded plastic cap under the tin cover... does that tang on the side not release it?

That cap should unscrew >>>>>

The bit on the side doesn't move or rotate. If there is a plastic cap under the tin one, it's not visible and the tin lid won't budge. I don't want to break it, but think I may end up forcing it with a screwdriver.

Yeah that just looks like a tin cap that someones put ontop of the plastic one, it should unscrew.

This is what they normally look like.

Someones stuck this on there

The clutch M/C on my chim (95) has a tin lid; it unscrews

[J4CKS]

Thats exactly it. They've fitted it very securely thats for sure!
I guess I'll have to eat more spinach and just prize it off with a bit of brute force!
Thanks all.

Its probably just stuck . Keep trying , Once you get it off get the plastic lid to replace it .

Tap it all the way round with a small hammer if its a bit of crud it may loosen it aluminium furs up

Put the marigolds on to get a proper hold - post up a pic

Cap looks the same as mine, it unscrews, bit tight mind

[J4CKS]

Winner!! Sort of. I got it off and guess where it went...
Straight down into the wing. Managed to retrieve it with a wire coat hanger afyer about 20 mins. It turns out it had furred up quite a bit.
And the marigolds weren't required!
