Clutch master cylinder nuts are ovaled on one end???
 

Man!

I wanna meet the idiot who designed the nuts that go on the bolts for my
clutch master cylinder!!!

The hole and threads are round on one end... and they are oval!! on the
other end...

My gosh... what were they thinking? I had all kinds of heck getting these
things out and I'm on my way to go get some new ones. Not gonna fight those
things again putting em back in. The threads are toast but the bolts look
ok.

Could that be intentional to keep them from loosening?

I think things would be much easier if they used say... olive oil instead of
brake fluid :o). That stuff eats everything up lol.

Also- anyone know where the bleed screw is on my external slave? I
can feel something on top... feels like a zerk maybe.

That is intentional, they are lock nuts.

As Mike says, they're lock nuts and they're on there for a reason, so put
them back. Re the bleed screw, you're on the right track. Not only does it
feel like a zerk, it looks like one. Are you sure you're not over you're
head here?
