Default problem trying to bleed clutch

When I try to get a socket on the bleeder valve, it won't go on, feels like the valve is right up against the edge of the well it sits in. Of course I can't see it to know for sure. Anyone else have this problem? Is that even possible, I mean is there some slop in the direction it's pointing when it's put together? (It's stock, never been touched since new.)

Socket should go wright on. I found it best to use a 1/4 drive socket on a 1/4 brakerbar.

I just did this today and used 11mm 1/4" deepwell and put the socket on the bleeder valve then the ratchet on the socket.
Leave it on there til your done, don,t take it off. Just keep switching the direction, oh and crack it loose and take your hand off the ratchet or the fluid will get all over you.
