10mm i believe...or was it 12mm. in any case i think the 10mm and 12mm are usually on the opposite ends of the same flare wrench. i think the bleeder screw is an 8mm, you might want to check that since its one smaller than some sets of wrenches have.

i'm working from memory and am pretty sure of the 10/12 flare size, but am not entirely sure if the bleeder was 8mm. anyone who knows different speak up

edit: oh, one more thing. i have no idea if this is bad for it or not, but i don't own any flare wrenches at my current residence (they're all somehwere else). when i changed my calipers i used a metrinch set (wrenches and sockets that grab sides instead of corners) and that seems to work fairly nicely without any stripping.
