Sorry to say this, but the bleed nipple is SUPPOSED to be at the top...!!! air rises, simple as that!!!! you'll never get all the air out of it if the nipple is not at the top...!!!

sorry i meant on the bottom.. the nipple is already at the top atm.

One way I saw on a series, was to fit a brake pipe in the bleed hole and run it up to a more accessible point, mount it to the bell housing or somewhere on the engine/gearbox via a plate, then fit a nipple on the end pipe

When you do get to the point of no leaks etc be warned I ended up pressure bleeding the slave cylinder on my 90. No matter how much we tryed it wouldn't bleed in the normal way. :huh:

There is another method, but wont help this problem, is reverse bleeding
Use something like a washing up liquid bottle and pipe attached, put it on the bleed nipple and push the fluid up until the resevoir is clear of bubbles :)
