Re: HELP- BRakes

Use a 7mm box end : the Bentley neglects to mention that there are two
sizes of bleeder screw: 7mm, which covers older front calipers and rear
cylinders (and apparently rear calipers 2) and 8mm, which covers newer
front calipers.  (I think the cutover was somewhere during the 85 model
year?)
