Brake Bleeding. (Front Drum)

Well, My brakes have been horrible for a while now, and this weekend I took it upon myself to bleed them along with the help of my dad.

The back ones were fine and easy, and they began to spit out a little fluid and no air bubbles after a while.

The front ones are where the trouble comes. We couldn't find a tool at any of the 3 auto stores we looked that would fit in there. How are you supposed to do it? We tried to bend a regular wrench and modify it a little to make it work, but it didn't work. We also tried the "Brake bleeding wrench" that we bought but it didn't work.
What are the keys to making it come lose?

Also, when you are bleeding, here is how we were doing it.
Push down Pedal
Loosen Bleed Valve
Tight Bleed Valve
Let Pedal up
Repeat,

So is that right? And when do you know your done? Is it supposed to be really pushing out or just a steady oozing?

Thanks in Advance
Any Help would be appreciated.
