What size wrench for brake bleed?
In the past I've relied on a friend's tools, but he's out of pocket, and I've forgotten is needed to bleed brakes on a mk2 997 gt3. Thanks.

Not the torque wrench, but the wrench for the screws on the bleeder valves.

What Audion19s said. Use a box end and slip it on before the bleed hose goes on.
