Genuine Carlyle · Part no. CCWFP011M

Photo shows the range. Size as stated.

Carlyle's CCWFP011M is an 11mm combination spanner with a 6-point ring, the better grip for small 11mm heads that have corroded, such as old brake bleed screws. The ring sits at a 15 degree offset and the open end has anti-slip jaws. Packed length 165 mm.

Good to know

• Why 6-point for bleed screws? Bleed screws seize and their corners round easily. A 6-point ring pushes on the flats instead, so it has a far better chance of turning a stuck one.
• The bleed screw won't move – more force? No. Soak it in penetrating oil and wait, then try again with steady pressure; snapping a bleed screw off in the caliper is a much bigger job.
• Anything to watch while bleeding? Brake fluid damages paint, so cover nearby panels and wipe drips at once, and don't drive the car until the pedal is firm.

Which one?

The Carlyle 13 Piece 6 Point Combination Wrench Set 7mm to 19mm (CCW613M) covers every 6-point size from 7mm to 19mm, useful because bleed screws vary from car to car.
