I have some M6001 brakes that came on my bike. I went to bleed them today and have the bleed kit, but the caliper doesnt have a bleed nipple. There is an allen bolt that undoes and it seems to opens up into the chamber and if i put the syringe in there there is nothing for it to grip. Has anyone seen this before? I have searched the Shimano site and cant find anything.

A rubber cover near the Allen key can be removed and a pipe pushed over the fitting underneath. Then use an Allen key to open and close the flow of fluid.
