Bleed Screw Size

Hey All,

I had a leaking seal in my stock master cylinder (51 Ford F-1), and I rebuilt the master cyliner and moved on to go and bleed the brakes... but now I can't seem to find a wrench that fits the bleeding screws on the backside of the wheels. I've tried 3/8ths... too small, 7/16ths... too big, and a 10mm, which was a bit too big as well. Are these things specially sized at 13/32nds... or am I just missing something here? Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry, can't answer your question, but nice to hear from you. I take it that you didn't end up selling your truck.
