My problem is that the bleeder screw sits in a recessed hole that's VERY tight. I can only get a socket in there,but the problem is I can't put a socket on it with the clear hose on the nipple and vise versa. I don't know what to do about this. All I can think of is modifying a socket,but then I'll have to buy expensive drill bits that I don't have. Can anybody help me out?

 

I can't remember the wrenching size of bleeder valve, but something like this would be perfect if it has a small enough size

You can get speed bleeders. They replace the standard bleeders, and are spring loaded. Tighten them down, and they seal just like stock. Loosen them, step on the pedal, and the pressure over-powers the spring and fluid flows. Release the pedal, and the springs snaps the interval valve shut.
Just tighten them down and you're done. Or put your stockers back, and share the SpeedBleeders with a friend.

+1 but I replace them with regular ones after bleeding

 

Ot just leave the socket in it with a hose attached to it. Finger tight will seal while bleeding then tighten with a ratchet. Or just wrap the ratchet with a rag and use that

 

I think this might solve my problem. Thank you!

 

Crowsfoot wrench?

 

im not quite sure where the issue is. ive never had any trouble getting to the bleeder screws with a regular wrench. what kind of brakes to you have?

 

The stock drum brakes. It's a '91 RS 305.

 

Get a brake bleeder wrench that has two box ends and a 90 degree bend in the middle. It's a deep offset that will do what you want.

 

ohhhh, that makes sense now, i never worked on drum brakes

carry on i have nothing to input here

 

In case the OP doesn't know what that looks like, you want one something like this old boy here...

 

But that tool wont fit. You cab just barely fit a deep 1/4 drove socket into the hole

 

Just use the socket and grind down the outside if you need too.
