Howdy,
my goal for this weekend was to flush and replace the brake fluid on my '70 bronco. checking out the bleeder valves I see that on the rear a 7/16 is too large and a 3/8 is too small. The front (which are disc brakes, converted by one of previous owners) mataches the 3/8.
my question is, what is the expected wrench size for the rear bleeder valves? Is there such a thing is 13/32 wrench (I couldn't find one at my local Sears, but haven't gone out to any automotive stores yet). Or is it possible that it is meteric? 10mm seems to fit better, but still has some slack and last thing I want to do is strip this bolt/nut.
