[V8] Speed Bleeders- SB7100

[Kneale Brownson]

For the record, Audi recommends that brake system bleeding be performed
with a pressure bleeder rather than by use of the brake pedal.   Glad to
hear the bleeders fit OK.  Do the metric threaded bleeders come with a
metric wrench size for opening/closing?
