What Brake Bleeders NEEDed.

Looking to replace all of my bleeders. Its an 88 GXL with 4 piston calipers.
Can i buy the bleeders localy? If so, what's their size?

If i go with Speed Bleeders, which one do I use.??

Do I use six SB8100 or six SB7100 ???

Thanks.

LoS

top bleeder is for getting the air out of the system when you change fluid, bottom is for when lines are replaced or the caliper is new as far as I know.
