Brake Bleeders

what size is the bleeders on the calipers for the 80's i was tryin to bleed the system with my new motive power bleeder and one of the bleeder sheared right off rusted right through, so im gonna look at speed bleeder upgrade. so are they 10mm or a different size?

They seemed to be good. I said "seemed" because I used a Motive Power Bleeder which eliminates the need of speed bleeders anyway.

Ive got the speed bleeders. A must have. I also got the IV bag and did a complete flush in no time. Great product.

I dont remember the size of speed bleeders I bought for my 1980, I purchased them from Summit racing. The Russell speed bleeders worked perfect, I was able to bleed all four sides in a very short time and it worked perfect. You wont be dissapointed.
