Default What tool for Slave Bleeder Bolt?

I tried using a 7/16 inch socket in quarter drive and short extension to bleed the at the slave, but it won't fit over the bleeder valve.

What tool should I be using?

I used a 1/4" drive deep well 12mm last night when I did mine. I couldn't get a 7/16 to work either. I also drilled a hole through the floor pan to access it though. Might want to consider the access hole.

11mm 1/4 inch drive and a 1/4" breaker bar. That way you don't have to switch the ratchet to open and close the bleeder.

How do you keep the fluid from bleeding down into the bellhousing?
