The wrench size is 9mm for the brake and 7mm for the clutch slave.

I had the worst time ever bleeding a clutch last month. Both bleeders (my 300 TD) leaked bad around the threads so I put teflon tape on the threads and that solved the problem.

I put the appropriate size box wrenchs on the bleeders before the hose so when I'm done bleeding I dont have to fumble so much with the wrench to shut off the bleeders, also removing the wheel helps as do the hose clamps.
Happy bleeding
