Question What size are the caliper bleeder screws?

I've tried searching around, it seems like they are the one inch ones... but i cant seem to figure out if they are 7 or 8 mm

does anyone know... id like to run over to pepboys to get some speed bleeders, but i kinda gotta know which sizes to get

oh, btw, my car is a 91 vert, if that matters

Sppedbleeder website lists SB8100 and SB7100 for a turbo RX-7. I know it's not a turbo, but it has four piston brakes. I went through that when I ordered Speed Bleeders. Oh, those are 8mmx1.00 and 7mmx1.00 for F/R respectively.

Some local chain shops carry them, you'll just have to call around. I ordered mine directly from Speed Bleeder. Now, in addition to the speedbleeders, I want a pressure bleeder. I've got instructions to make my own, but there's a website that sells pretty good ones for reasonably cheap.

Speed Bleeders and pressure bleeders can be used on the clutch hydraulics.
