Depending on where and when it was made it could be 1/4", 5/16" or 8mm. :shock:

1/4" was too big, 5/16" too small, so I suppose that leaves 8mm

I've found they're usually either 8mm or 7mm. Most replacement rear cylinders are 7mm hex bleed screws.

I've been doing quite a few brake jobs lately :lol:
