I know it's well documented in these forums and looks an easy enough job but can anyone answer this?

My car doesn't have a bleed nipple/screw on the slave cylinder, at least not a conventional type that you get on brake calipers. I have a manual for a 93 and that shows a conventional looking nipple (like on brakes).
My clutch slave cylinder does have something where the bleed nipple/screw should be but it's completely round, there are no "flats" to put a spanner on. By the way it's round by design, it hasn't been rounded off. How would I turn this to bleed it? If 90 was a "strange year" can I fit a later salve cylinder?


The system works perfectly, I'm sure there's no air in it, but the fluid is pretty dark and it would be nice to put fresh fluid in. How stupid am I. I've just had a new clutch/transmission oil change/backup light switch, and forgot to ask the meachanic to do this at the same time. Damn!
