Default Tremec TR6060 bleed valve help

Hi team.

I've got my hydraulic clutch line all setup and ready to bleed.

FYI, my TR6060 MER is from a 2013 VF Commodonor, and has this bleed nipple extension outside the bellhousing as standard.

When I go to loosen the bleed nipple, instead of just the nipple turning the whole extension shaft turns.

Question is: Is this normal? Is the sealing point where the original nipple would have been? Or is it just the end that should turn? In which case I'll need to try and get some lock pliers onto the shaft so I can loosen the nipple. I certainly want to avoid removing the engine!

I'm only concerned because I don't want to fill the bottom of the bellhousing with brake fluid!
