Best wrench to bleed Brakes.

OK so i have a 68 with front drum brakes and I'm having a hell a time bleeding the front. All i can get on the bleeder screw is a deep socket because the spindle is always in the way. I have tried a bleeder screw wrench way way to long wont even fit.

Re: Best wrench to bleed Brakes.

Had the same problem with my 67. Ended up replacing all 4 wheel cylinders. The new ones I got from Napa has longer bleeders that you can get proper wrench on. Maybe you can replace just your bleeders.
