Vn brakes

[marky_85]

Hi just wandering if anybody knows the size hose that can go on vn v8 brake bleeder nipple. Cheers

No idea of the size, but I buy something that's slightly too small, then heat the end up with a cigarette lighter and push it over the nipple to give a better fit/seal.

You could probably grab a few spanners say 10, 9, and 8 and see which one fits over the nipple with the least amount of clearance.

I think you might have misread the question.....To me, the OP seems to be wondering the diametre of the hose, to fit over the bleeder nipple....

If he is after the bleeder nipple size,it's a 11MM spanner

Nope didn't misread. I meant him to slide the spanner over the nipple and use it as a measuring tool. Hence why i said grab a few different sizes.

Yep and if he slides the spanner over the round bit he will have the ID for the tube.

8mm should do the job. His a good way doing it if you don't have a pump or sucker.
