Paul,
On my 74 CBB, the top nut measures 15/16". It was easy
enough to get at...but then I have the engine out ;-)
I checked the haynes and bentley manuals, neither seem
to cover clutch slave hose removal. I guess that
translates to clamp it with molegrips and beat with a
large hammer.
Sorry I can't help much.
