Its time to bleed my brakes and freshen up the fluid. Back calipers are easy, but fronts are a pain. I'm using the self bleeding screws and there isn't enough room to get a box wrench around the screw. The open end is too tight to fit securely too. I'm looking for a thin 8mm box wrench but all I find is thin open ends. What are the rest of you using?

McMark Edit: caliber -> caliper

Buy a cheap wrench and grind it down to fit.
