Re: Bleeding brakes
Should be 3/8". Mine are.
Chances are they are either very corroded or rounded off. Very common on a 20 year old upstate NY car.
If it is rounded, you may be able to save it yet. A good pair of Vise-Grips usually frees them, but destroys them in the process. They are cheap and easy to replace. And, if you can't get them out, the calipers are dirt cheap too. Front calipers from you local parts store should be around $10-$15.
