- The bleed nipples are 3/8" AF not metric. Use a six sided socket to
- start the nipple moving and then put a box wrench on it to do the bleed.
- If you still have trouble moving it, spray it with penetrating oil and
- then try TIGHTENING and loosening it alternately. Use firm but not heavy
- torque on the wrench or you may break off the nipple.
- The nipples have normal threads so you unscrew it in an anticlockwise
- direction.
