That nut holds the flexible hose to the car body.

Subject: RE: Clutch Problems
Just a quick note. I have moss number 311-420 nut loosened on the clutch
system (Actually it is totally off. I took it off for another reason.). I
was wondering if anyone knows what the purpose of this nut is. Will
hydraulic oil seep through here or what??? I just though of it and I have
not checked but I thought one of you would know this right away. Here is the
web address for moss so you can take a quick look and see. Thanks again

When you say "the cylinder and it is moving" do you mean the master or the
slave? When correctly bled you should get around 1/2" of movement of the
slave piston. I can't really see how you could be getting this as well as
no resistance, but if you are you have problems inside the bellhousing.
If the slave piston travel is less than this it probably just needs
bleeding. After reading many tales of woe as to how difficult this is by
conventional means I opted for the reverse approach, and filled my system
using a Gunsons EeziBleed on very low pressure connected to the slave
nipple. Doing it this way I immediately had full travel with no bleeding
required.
