Caliper Bleed Screw

[92G]

Anyone konw what size/type(metric vs. sae) wrench is needed for the caliper bleed screws? It's smaller that anything I have, and I'm too cheap to buy a whole set(unless I can find one for a few bucks...)

Be sure the replacement is long enough also 8O

8mm looks about right. I'll give it a try. I don't think I need to replace them. Let's hope not anyway...

Thanks,

5/16 fits mine perfect.

8mm or 5/16 either one will work just fine. Just make sure it is a 6 point wrench and not a 12 point, to lessen the chance of rounding off the corners of the bleeder screw. Here's some more food for thought, Goodridge makes a speedbleeder for Suzuki. They have a one way check valve in them, so bleeding your brakes is now a one person job. Dennis Kirk sells them for $ 14.99 a pair.
Doze.
