TJ brake bleed screw size
 

I'm hoping someone can tell me what size wrench I need for the brake
bleeder screw on my '01 TJ. The Jeep is not here right now, or I'd
check myself! :-)

Thanks!

8mm fits perfectly tight, but 5/16 will work if you do not have metric.

Re: TJ brake bleed screw size
 

Because brake fluid attracts water so the bleeder threads will be a
little rusted, and the socket has a that little more area to hold the
head before it rounds.

That's why they make 6-point box end wrenches. Trying to do a bleed
with a socket is a royal PITA, altho I do use one to initally "break"
the really stuck ones since it's easier to hold square on the bleeder
screw (and usually gets me a longer handle).

And squaring it is very important when you're right on the razors
edge, of rounding it. Besides since I've been out of the business I
haven't bleed enough to excite the ecologists, just popped the air.

Re: TJ brake bleed screw size
 

matco tools offer a bleeder wrench in a couple of different sizes and it's
one of the best tools i have bought since, i cut breaking bleeder screws
off 40% with these tools for some reson the work better than a wrench and
or socket
