Default Clutch Bleeding

I need some advice on bleeding my ls1 t56. Do they make a special tool to open the bleeder or do I just try to get a socket on it? I think it going to be hard to get a wrench on it, this is in a 1980 Malibu. I am new to this ls stuff and just want to get it right!! Thanks!

Default

1. socket and 1/4" ratchet (sucks trying to flip the switch in there)
2. socket and 1/4" breaker bar (good but hard to find 1/4" breaker)
3. cut hole in trans tunnel (good but scares people off, don't know if it will work on malibu)
4. speed bleeder (good, but have to pull trans to install)
5. mightyvac (good but too much pressure can ruin master seals)
