It' true the only bleed is on the left side, but be sure to use a flare nut
wrench on that fitting (it grabs more sides of the nut) or you will round
off the flats for sure.

Subject: [Tigers] bleeding the drums
my car is finally on the road after an epic clutch job! thanks to all
who helped out over the various issues. i ended up doing a lot more
than just the clutch.
i was bleeding the brakes yesterday and found that only the left rear
side has a bleed nipple. the right side has the pipe running the (i
think) the left. is this normal? also i was not able to turn the
bleed nipple. the size seems just a bit larger than 3/8 and i can't
get a 3/8" wrench on it. its also not 10mm. i tried with an
adjustable wrench and WD40 but can't move it. fortunately i'm able to
lock up the front wheel(s) after just bleeding the fronts.
the end result of the clutch job was the discovery that the wrong
flywheel was on there. with the correct 28oz" flywheel, the engine is
now super smooth. also the centerforce II clutch is fantastic.
(although i did have to move from a 7/8" MC to a 3/4" - 5/8" would
probably be even better as the pedal stroke is still short).
many thanks.
