HI.. 7 mm on the rear brakes if it's a german wheel cylinder. ( sometimes 1/4 inch if it's an american el cheapo ) 10mm on the front brake calipers. I always spray them with Kroil penetrating oil first thing.. as soon as I know I'm going to be unscrewing them also ..in an extreme case of stuckness...tapping downward on the bleeder screw with a small hammer may 'waken up' the treads, sometimes.
