Exclamation mk1 focus clutch bleeder access

need to try and do a clutch m/c in the morning, found some how to and it doenst look too bad

the bleed nipple...do i really have to half strip the engine bay to access this ? or can you reach from underneath ?

Don't tighten it with a spanner it will snap. Goes from open to closed in around half a turn too. As for access it depends how small your hands are but pulling the battery out is a 2 minute job anyway
