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?

the issue isn't the fit of the screw but it's the amount of space to fit a box wrench or an open end around the screw because the casting of the case is so close to the screw.

Yes, but stock bleeders are 7mm, not 8. So if you've got 8mm bleeders, something was changed and now you have less clearance. |
