I'm hoping someone can tell me what size wrench I need for the brake bleeder screw on my '01 TJ. The Jeep is not here right now, or I'd check myself! :-)
Thanks!

TJ brake bleed screw size

8mm fits perfectly tight, but 5/16 will work if you do not have metric.
Why?
Ok, thanks.

Thanks for the info guys. Turns out my rear screws were 8mm and my front screws were 10mm.

That's why they make 6-point box end wrenches. Trying to do a bleed with a socket is a royal PITA, altho I do use one to initally "break" the really stuck ones since it's easier to hold square on the bleeder screw (and usually gets me a longer handle).
