DIY: How to Bleed Your Brake Fluid Using Motive Power Bleeder 0117 (AK370Z)

I'm going to piggy-back off AK's tutorial for the base brakes. The only contribution I have is that the front bleeder screws are 10mm and the rears are 5/16 (8mm).

Is your car NON AKEBONO (non sports pack)? because for sports pack Akebono, it's 10mm for front and rear bleeder bolts.

Although his phrasing might be a little confusing, I'm pretty sure he is indeed referring to the base brakes (i.e. not sports pack). I can confirm that the bleeder valve for the Akebono brakes (i.e. sports pack) is 10mm both front and back

Btw... can I say something about the 8 month response delay?
