my vanagon front bleed valves are all 10mm.
I keep my one smap-on 9mm wrench in a separte stash of weird tools.
I'd know it was used on vanagon front bleed valves for sure.

rear wheel cylinder bleed valves ..
good german ones use a 7mm.
cheap non-german ones may use a 1/4 inch.
I havn't seen any rear 8mm bleed valves myself.

what are the two tubing nut wrench sizes that you really need on a vanagon ?
Can't work on clutch or brake lines properly without them.
