I would like to know how to bleed the clutch system on a nissan x trail 2009. I looked for a bleeder nipple on the fluid line and found a plastic nipple that cannot be turned. It looks like its moulded with the pipe. Do I need a special tool for that plastic nipple?

Hello,

No special tool required. To bleed the clutch in that car all you do is keep working the clutch pedal until you have pedal. The system is self bleeding. You should be able to see little air bubbles coming up in the reservoir. If you don't get pedal the master or slave is bad.

I have seen people push the fit connector onto the slave cylinder pipe comes back to a bleed position and is bled that way.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Cheers, Ken
