Anyone know what size of wrench for the bleeder screws?
 
Does anyone have any idea what size the bleeder is so that I can just buy a 6 point combination in that size and get around the hassle of rounding the head off the bleeder screw...

Thanks guys.

Seems like it was 8mm on my '85 GS.

Yup, 8mm is correct. Use a box-end wrench rather than an open-end. It's no fun rounding the edges off these little bastards.

yep. i used a box end 8mm, but be careful not to brake it off. i can thank that for new fromt calipers and rotors lol

8mm or 5/16 six point box wrench will work. the latter is what i use.

Yes 8mm, take the old ones out and put in speed bleeders while your doing it.
