[DML] Re: Clutch bleeding

["EJ Chambers" <marmieej@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I was bleeding my clutch the last go around, we used an 8mm
socket to initially open the bleed screw and then an 8mm wrench for
bleeding. 

I always try to find a standard size that fits before I attempt SAE
sizes just due to the massive amount metric nuts/bolts there are on
the car compared to SAE. (Maybe where I have SAE just originated from
a previous owner too)
