It's a 7mm bleeder, I used a normal combo wrench, but a U shaped wrench or S shaped wrench would make access easier I think. 7mm Flare wrenches are hard to find, i now have one (Proto makes a 7/8mm flare). Clutch bleed is easy, just access is tough, need a 3rd joint on my arm between elbow and wrist!

Are you sure this is the way it is supposed to be completed? Please correct if I'm wrong, G50 clutch fluid uses the brake fluid and when the brake fluid is flushed the clutch fluid is flushed out. That's the way I've done it for the last 11 years.
Soaz, congrats on the car. I too always wanted one and it took me about a year of searching, looking at and driving cars before I found the one for me. I bought the car that was hanging in my bedroom wall when I was a kid.
If you haven't already, spend the money on the Bentley manual. It's a bit pricey but it will save you a ton of money in being able to do stuff yourself and it will keep you from being bent over by an unscrupulous mechanic because it will help you understand any particular procedure.
You will find that your confidence grows as you tackle more and more projects. Congratulations again on the car, enjoy the ride. It will be some of the most frustrating experiences in your life but the feeling you get when things go right with the car (actually most of the time) will all make it seem worth it.
