Where can i purchase a wrench for brake bleeding?
The manual shows a nifty pass through wrench for brake bleeding. Any idea if these are a common tool? Where can i pick one up? While i have your attention, what size do i need?
SAV sells that here: http://www.pinzgauer.com/showdetails.ph ... 9053258012
Possibly Scott at EI carries one also though I couldn't find it on his website.
I've got one and it really is a nice tool.

SAV one seems awfully pricey when a normal wrench/spanner would do - can't remember how deeply inset the bleed nipples are, think I undid mine slightly with the spanner, then put the tube on, and just used finger tightness whilst bleeding, then finally tightening up again with the spanner

I assume you're all talking about bleeding the fronts. I just use a deep socket which fits the bleeder valve. Then I use a small vise-grip to clamp on to the socket to turn it with. I attach my bleeder hose to the valve, run the hose through the socket and fit the socket to the valve, and open/close it with the vise-grip.
IIRC, a normal flare wrench fits the rears.
