it's either a 7mm or an 8mm

8mm

Toyota doesn't commonly use odd sizes below 14mm

I'd pick up a 10mm also just for good measure. It's a useful size anyhow.

You can use a 5/16" if you have one.

8MM is .315"
5/16 is .313"

8 mm six point socket is the safest way (no risk of rounding off the bleeder)

Are there speed bleeders available for our Corollas? I haven't looked yet, but wondering if anyone already knew since I saw this topic.

yup, I have some on mine.

they're the SB7100 model for front and back, discs and drums.

You can probably find them cheaper, some times local auto parts stores will have them. but these have a lifetime warrenty and if one breaks off in your caliper you can send them your caliper and they'll get it out for you :-P

Awesome, thanks! I have a set (yet to be installed) for my del Sol, but didn't think they would bother with making them for a Corolla
