Do they make some special socket for the rear? the bleed screw is in that depression and I cant get a socket in there. Figure I'll need to just crack the line fitting open to bleed the rears??
-
a 1/4" drive socket works...think it is either and 7 or 8 mm....
-
Steve's right on with the 1/4 inch drive and an 8mm

Go with a deep socket. Crack it and tighten it hand tight . Thread the hose through the socket and you can open and close it by hand while bleeding. Get her bled then tighten it down, and move to the next bleeder.

or just let it drip for a gravity bleed and open them all at once...keep the master cyl full!

My issue was the socket wall was to thick, so the oustide diamater of the socket wouldnt go in the hole. Borrowed one from neighbor and it fit. Thanks again guys!!!

That's what makes snap on a snap on. There is a difference, or at least it is according to the slogan on the back of the truck.

Wait time is approximately one beer per wheel.

bleed screws with a check valve are pretty slick- I got a set of wagners? once with them.

Not at my house. They bleed nowhere near that quickly.

you might need to clean your bleeders out. Might be a restriction in there impeding the bleed flow.

Got them done. Thinner wall socket fit right in :icon_smile:

My old-ass Craftsman 1/4" deep sockets fit fine.

yep, so do mine....snap on is crack for mechanics...ow e your soul to the snap on store! I do have a good snap on double swivel plug wrench that makes #6 easy

I have a few Snap On tools - various ones I found in customer's cars, in the junkyard, or just acquired over the years. One very nice screwdriver... Vast majority is Craftsman - I will say that my favorite too ever is the 1st gen, straight Gearwrench ratcheting wrench set.

I do like the super thin low torque snap on wrenches.
they can be pretty handy at times
