Default Need help accessing slave cylinder bleeder valve

Hey guys I have a 98 2 door blazer with a 5 speed nv3500
I can't access the slave cylinder bleeder valve. Any tips? I want to flush my clutch fluid.

That steel braided line is not from the factory and it looks new. The best tip I can offer is not to worry about it. All my manual transmissions only got new clutch fluid when the clutch was replaced. Unless the bottom of the reservoir looked like the last sip of a cup of hot chocolate. If you're really worried about it, remove some with a turkey baster and top it off with new a couple times. Since your line is flexible can you remove the slave, gravity bleed it and reinstall?

The previous owner had the clutch replaced in 2011. Clutch fluid doesn't look too bad. It's black. But liquidy and not thick. I ended up sucking some out with a turkey baster and topping it off with new fluid

To remove the slave won't I have to dismount the transmission ?

Yes, the transmission needs to be dropped. I had a flashback to my 91 5 speed which had an older design slave that bolts to the outside.
