Spanner size for brake calliper nipples?

As above need to get a spanner for the brake calliper nipples, anyone know what size to get? or point me in the direction of one online
None of my metric sockets/spanners fit......

Thanks.

Sure my front ones were 11mm and the rears 10mm

I tried 10/11/12mm on the fronts and no good......

Not worked on a DC5, try using a socket if they arent in the best condition to free them off. Even quality brake pipe spanners can be tricky.

Often you will get an 11 on and round it, because all along it was just a rusty 10! (An example no idea what size the Brembos use. Smallest ive encountered is a 7!)

Doh :xconfused: i did try 11mm spanner but just felt a little bit loose (NEED NEWUNS) got my small socket set out and the 11mm seems ok.

Thanks mike.williams and Wingnuttzz.

Yeah, already clocked the two nipples on the front, thanks to the how to bleed HERE done by C&S Evo7.
