How to Remove Brake Fluid Cap - '53 Hornet

Hudson_in_Seattle

hey guys - things are moving forwards getting my newly acquired hornet back safely on the road - i tried to remove the brake fluid cap, on the master cylinder, under the access plate, on the driver's side floor - the cap has a square shallow nut on it - i can't get it to budge, and there is no space to get a wrench on it from the side - is there a hudson specific tool for this? any advice would be most appreciated - thanks for looking!

There is a cover plate under the mat/carpet. Round I think. Remove the plate screws and plate .
A 12 point socket will usually work. Don't recall the size, 1 " or 1 1/8" ?

Before I had lots of tools,  I used a adjustable wrench with a screwdriver thru the hole in the end of the wrench to rotate it.   Just a memory of long ago.
