After ****ting my rear break pipe and cracking it:doh:. I have managed to get the replacement brake pipe on.

However the bleed screws are well rusted, have wire brushed them and dosed them with a plus gas.

Does anyone know how to deal with them. a 9mm ringspanner is/will round of the nuts and an 8mm wont fit.

Is it case of order a few spares and encourage an 8mm socket onto them for removal

Totally sick

5/16" = .3125"
8mm = .3149" (pedant, I know)

probably rust on the hex, persuade a socket on and gently tighten and loosen till free.
