1998 k2500 14 bolt axle 8600 gvrw jb7 brakes. Holy cow the bleeder screw is tucked in there tight behind the springs, how in the world how you get to it. Anyone know what size it is. My 10mm socket isnt right and they are either to short or to long, gotta go buy some new sockets. Cant get a open end wrench on it with the wheel cylinder bolts in the way.

6 or 7mm IIRC.
I used a 6 point box-end wrench. I bought a decent set of Craftsman wrenches that went from 6mm-24mm back in 1988 or 89. I think they cost around $60. Not sure where you'd go for a decent full set like that for a reasonable price now.
