Lines 4 Disc / Drum & Bleeder Scrw Size
Another question from the legally blind mechanic 
I have a 91 Formula with discs up front and drums in the back...
While putting in my Bilstiens, I noticed the rubber brake hoses didn't look healthy...
My setup Disc / Drum has 3 hoses I can replace, 2 front 1 for back, correct?
I checked the autoparts store, they said $16 for each front and $30 for rear... which I found odd.. I can get Earl's from Summit for $70, I'll probably go that route...
As for the bleeder screws, 10mm up front and 8 in back? Are there 2 in the back also, where are they located?
Trying to get as much info and research so I get the right parts before I jack up the car and begin
Thanks, I love this place !

Right, 2 hoses in front and 3 in the rear.
Don't know the sizes offhand; I'm thinking 10mm front and 5/16" rear but I could be wrong.
The ones on the drums are located on the wheel cylinders, which are near the top of the backing plates, close to where the lines connect.

3rd in back...
I don't have to remove the drum to access the bleeders?
I just want to make sure I order the right bleeder screws, nothing sucks wores than getting it all apart and having the wrong parts...

Ummm, right... brain cramp there....
You might want to just get the wheel cyls instead of the screws; they're only like $10 apiece. That way you don't have to worry about rusted/stuck/broken/rounded-off bleeder screws.
