I cut an 11mm box-end wrench in two to bleed the slave. Use a pressure bleeder and pass a long tube through the wrench to the bleeder nipple. Use an old 4 litre washer fluid bottle as a catch can.

Spot on NewArt. That's exactly how I've done in the past. I haven't received the new slave but I will report back when I finish the job. Thanks!

Am I the only one with a 9mm slave bleed nipple?
Why and in what way did you cut it in two? Just curious.

I think he may have cut it in two because it such a tight fit..Easy to maneuver? That's what I remember when bleeding the slave. 😁

That's how I do it too, except this last time I got all fancy and bought a stubby, ratcheting box-end wrench. Ooohhhh..... I'll never go back. Hahaha

You actually found a stubby, ratcheting box-end wrench?

Nice, I've never seen those. When I had to remove the supercharger from my Jag I bought every 10mm wrench Snap-On made.
