Default What size is bleeder zerk on 2001 dakota?

I can't get a wrench to fit the bleed zerk and they don't appear to be rounded. If they are rounded whats the best tool to take them out?

I think they're 10mm, but I'm not sure. Best way to take them out is with a 6-point socket.

Were those the wrong sizes, or are the bleeders rounded? If those were too small, try an 11mm or 7/16". If they were too big, try an 8mm or 5/16".

It really does suck that American (by that I mean GM, Ford and Dodge) vehicles manufactured in the last 10-20 year still have an assortment of metric and standard size fasteners. Makes my toolbox twice as large....lol
