This would work OK for turning it, but I don't see how you could put a
hose on the bleeder, in order to do the bleeding....... you know,
other end of hose in a jar of brakefluid..???

|Lee,
|The typical 7mm box wrench will be lots easier to use if you take it
|someplace where they have an acetylene torch.  You want to bend a
deep
|offset....... mine is about 2" at say 60�.  Heat it cherry red just
|past the box end, bend; then repeat ~2" along, bending in the
opposite
|direction.  Plays hell with the chrome; saves your knuckles.....
