How the F do you losen the rear bleed screws?

There seams to be some sort of V of metal around them that will not letyou get a socket or anything on them. looks like you have to remove the brake line to bleed. That doesn't seam like a good idea.

How in the heck do you get at those bleeders and do you know what size socket off hand?

 

tried searching but not finding anything.

 

FFIO - "F"-en Figure It Out

I used a standard Craftsman 8mm (if I recall correctly) socket....

 

15/64 and they are well hidden. If one would freze, good luck. No way to get some visegrips on them. Problem was the tiny grove around them filled in with crap. socket had to be beaten on.

I hate GM sometimes. Why are those bleeders hidden like that?

 

Its seem, sorry it was just freakin with my mind. Farking seam.

 

Yea.. they are actually 8 MM I changed every part in my rear drum brakes, (because one of those things actually broke off on one side, so I changed both sides so I wouldn't have to worry and then everything was on equal terms) If you beat on that bleed screw you will eventually have to replace it because changes are it will f up the threads for it causing it to have a slight leak

 

I looked it up and its only $8 a side to do the rears all new. Might as well just would hate it to turn into a mess if I twisted a line taking them off.
