I replaced the shoes in the rear drums on my 96 Jetta and tried to blead the brakes. I cannot find the proper size wrench for the bleeder screw. I've tried every wrench I own. Anyone got any idea what size it is? Thanks!

i used a 8mm closed wrench for mine. i also used ignition wrenches. they worked easier for me. what ever you do dont use vise grips. i broke a bleeder needle before and it is a pain in the but cuz easy out drill bits dont always work. i had to take apart my drum and pull the broken bleeder needle out through the other side

It's a 7 mm....but it's a real tight fit.
