A few days back I was having difficulty working the bleeder screws on the front. I tried to find a thin bodied 8mm box wrench but nothing locally. So tonight I took a socket and drilled a hole in the side so I could twist it and drilled out most of the insides so my plastic tube had room to expand around the bleeder nipple.
