Ok on my 99 spyder i have had the clutch replaced, the slave cylinder and about 2 months ago the clutch line that runs from under the air filter assembly to the joint with the bleeder valve on it. The end of that line that runs into the bleeder valve assembly recently starting leaking, really bad. However the bolt that needs to be tightened is pretty well hidden behind the cross support. If anyone else has any suggestions on how to get this bolt tightened up, PLEASE HELP!!!

If it is leaking possibly , if its missing the brass washers that keep it from leaking. Possibly , since work was done to the system. Thats if the line has the open end and uses a banjo bolt type like most front brake calipers.

i tried both and couldnt get a very good grip on it, it just started stripping it more. Its the fact that i can only get an angled grip on it, i cant get a straight on shot at it.

you might have to put a jack underneath the trans or engine (make sure you use a piece of wood so you don't puncture anything) loosen the front trans mount and the side motor mounts.....lift slowly on the jack so you can get some extra room in there
