It is a challenge to get to the nipple on a Boxster unless you have a rubber arm.

I have bled the clutch on a few Boxsters. They all had metal nipples. On some cars the nipple is 9 mm and on others it is 11 mm. I take the LR wheel off.

I crack open the nipple with a wrench. Sometimes I use a socket on the end of a ratchet wrench. Then close the nipple with my fingers. Put the tube on the nipple. Hook up the motive and pump it. Then I open the nipple with my fingers. When enough fluid has come out of the tube I close the nipple with my fingers then remove the motive. Then remove the tube and tighten the nipple with a wrench.

I usually do the clutch when doing the calipers. Do RR caliper. Then LR caliper and clutch, since you already have the wheel off. Then RF caliper. Then finish with the LF caliper.
