Brake Bleed hose size?
So I bought a powerbuilt bleed kit from Kragen/O'reilly and it appears that the hose is too small to fit over the brake bleed nipple. What size hose do you guys use when you bleed the brakes? Where did you guys get them? Thanks!

You can get clear tubing in most hardware stores. I can't remember for sure what the correct size was. 1/4", maybe. It's really cheap, so you can either measure the nipple or just buy some in various sizes.

This worked very well for me. hecash's recommendation above is probably better though. I think it could have stood to be a little more snug.

- First, it took me a while to find some place that sold the right kind of tubing that would fit over the bleeder. Home Depot had it (tried several pet stores and one sold me tubing that was too small). It's 3/8" outer diameter and 1/4" inner diameter clear vinyl tubing that fits perfectly over the bleed nipple.
