RE: clutch issues!!!
Oh...well down here in MS a lot of time people call flare nut wrenches crows foot wrenches.
Regardless, what you need is a flare nut wrench, not an open end wrench.
Get one like the one in the picture I posted.

You can use open end wrenches to size the nut. It should be 10mm, but check. I bought a set of 3 flare tubing wrenches for 3.99, They were CalHawk brand, a cheap china tool, but has worked fine for me.
good luck

Not a good idea. An ordinary ring spanner isn't as thick in the ring as the flare spanner is, so if you cut it the 'ring' will become springy and tend to spread if the fitting is tight, increasing the risk of damaging the fitting hex. This will defeat the purpose, i.e. you might as well use an open end spanner. At least open enders are designed to be as'spread' resistant as reasonably possible, even if this isn't 100% successful. Also the flare spanners have a 'full' six sidedhex (minus part of one sidelost at the gap), ring spanners are typicallythe12 pointed design that is more likely to round off the hex corners, especially if the ring spreads.

If you can figure out a way to push fluid INTO the bleeder valve on the slave, that should work (I've done it).
I've got a pressure bleeder, but people have used a clean new oil pump-canwith tubing, or a syringe, or something like that. You'll also need to remove fluid from the reservoir (turkey baster?)

I recently bled an Acura 2.2CL clutch system by filling a small bottle partially w/ brake fluid and routing a flexible tube from slave cyl. bleeder (just cracked open) into this fluid. Slowly pump clutch pedal to displace fluid into the catch bottle. Refill clutch reservoir frequently as it doesn't hold a lot. It takes a surprising amount of bleeding to get all the air out, perhaps 50-75 clutch pumps (I didn't count). Air kept bleeding out for a long time. After completion, close bleeder before removing drain line from catch bottle.
Doing this as a 1-man job will require blind pumping till you are getting clean fluid. I would simply do 25 pumps, close bleeder, check pedal, and then repeat as necessary.
good luck
