I just noticed the bleed nipples at the rear drums (68 CS) are smaller than the front discs and I don't seem to have a spanner to fit the rear (so I need to buy one). What size spanner should fit front and what should fit rear. Cheers |

Tim I keep meaning to buy one of those, but that's for the adjusters, not the bleeders

Tim I rounded off my adjusters using (stretching) my spanner, so have ground them down to 7mm - one day I'll buy some new ones and the tool to go with them |

The tool seems to work OK even when they are a bit rounded off. Its worth having one in the toolbox. Tim |
