Default Brake bleed help please

Bought some speed bleeders. They work great for the front, but summit sent me the wrong size for the rear. Does anyone know the size of the rear bleeders? 79 L48. Thanks.

I believe the front and rear calipers are essentially identical. I know all of the bleeders on my '79 use the same size wrench. Are you certain yours are stock?

Take the bleeder out and go to pepboys, they have speed bleeders. Just make sure you put a plug in the bleeder whole.

They're both reman calipers. I tried oreilly and carquest neither one had speed bleeders. I guess I'll just take one out and see if I can match it up. Don't know if there's a pep boys here. Thanks.
