    E36 Brake Bleeder Screw - Upgrade?

    Apologize if this has already been covered in another thread. I did some basic searching and wasn't able to find anything.

    The stock E36 brake bleeder screws require a 7mm wrench.

    Is there an upgraded option that requires a bigger wrench? Or something that seals a bit better and is more conforming to slight seat/taper irregularities? I use aluminum brake bleeder screws on my S2000 which I assume can deform just the right amount to account for any seat/taper irregularities.

    But mostly, I would be happy with a bleeder screw that requires a more standard 10mm or so wrench so I have to carry one less special tool around.

    Thanks.

    I think the parts store bleeders have a bigger hex.
