Hi I want to re blead my clutch but am woried about shearing off the nipple. I just wanted to know what my options are if the nipple does break and how to remove it, before I start.

If the nipple does shear off I wouldn't even consider trying to get the rest of it out. A new slave cylinder will set you back £10 or so.

But if you do want to try a set of 'Easy Outs' are the way forward. However, unless you start applying heat etc the chances are you'll just end up with a sheared off easy out in there as well.

Can you get access to remove the clutch cylinder without removing the engine??

Yes, theres only two bolts and two unions not forgeting a small plastic clip. Trace the fluid pipe from the master cylinder and you'll find it.
