if you're stuck and you don't mind getting fluid everywhere you can do it by inserting a pointed instrument into the existing fitting (it's a spring loaded ball valve), as you pull the clutch lever.

timing is everything here



disclaimer: very possibly not the way bmw main agents do it

or you could buy a brake bleed nipple (10mm?) from motorworks.

Same as the bleed nipples on the brakes if I remember correctly.

from memory a standard 10mm car one fits. I've had mine in the tool box for years so could be wrong!!

If you don't/ can't do cookies method just undo the bleed unit and use your thumb then screw the bleed unit back on.
