I dont get it, brake bleeding

I need to bleed my rear drums. I found the bleedser, they had nice rubber plugs over them but it is just a nipple.



Just a nipple. no place for a wrench.

 

on a normal GM car there is a nipple with a wrench spot under it, now many times they are broke off but it is then flush.

these just have a nipple, how do I losen that. vise grips.

 

I'm having the same problem, I called the dealer..no help. Then I called "Just Brakes"...no help either. I tried to put a socket on it that didn't work. Somebody tells us how to bleed the back drum brakes.

 

I need help 2

With a socket.

You might not have seen it yet, but it's there. 5/16" hex IIRC. Use a 6-point deep-well to avoid rounding it off.

 

I think it's 8mm (deep Z neck) - closed end, and aviable from GM.
(It's looks like a miniture version of a GM distributor wrench.)

I bought one from Checker Auto, but didn't go deep enough. I ended up doing a litttle grinding on one side with my dremel.

It's a stupid design, and a PINA... I even looked at replacment pistons at Checker, and there all the same!!! It's stupid...

Grinded it down did work though...
