Brake Bleeding Wrench Size

What size wrench do I need to bleed the brakes? I did a search and didn't come up with anything and I don't have a wrench now that fits. Thanks.

One thing I will add is avoid a regular wrench for these.. Use a 6PT socket or a flare nut wrench. 1/4" isn't too common for a flair nut wrench so I just use a 6pt socket or 6PT box end wrench. The fluid easily spills out between the crevasses in the socket.

Using a reg wrench or 12PT wrench/socket could result in a rounded out bleeder. NOT FUN.

Picked up the flare nut wrench. Not cheap, but worth it.

OK that flare nut wrench didn't work out so well. The one I picked up was so fat/wide that I couldn't use it while having the nipple covered with a tube. So I ended up using a regular 1/4 wrench instead.
