Is everyone else's clutch bleed valve upside down and near impossible to get to without removing something?

Mine points upwards towards the radiator/turbo

Yes. I like to take off the front to rear crossmember to clear up some room. I remember looking at the slave in my buddies 99 GSX and how it looked incredibly easier to get at than with our cars.

+1 for never removing a darn thing to change or bleed it. I used a 10mm ratchet wrench too for ease.

it is extremely tight, but i bled mine on the ground in the driveway with a soda bottle, some vacuum hose and a 10mm box wrench. kinda hard but it was easy enough.

I use an old 10mm wrench that I bent at almost a right angle. That way I can still use a clear rubber hose on the bleeder to watch for bubbles and keep everything clean.

i also found this very hard to bleed but eventually found out a way!

I used a 10mm socket with 2, yes 2 extensions to give enough room to turn. downside is that the fluid might be spilling on the frame part. nothing a little wipe could clean up.

right on terry, bending an old wrench at 90 is such a great idea. i do this often enough to want a 10mm bent, i also use a clear hose to see the bubbles... new to posting on forums, never really done it before i i have to realize i need to be a little more detailed.
