From SpeedBleeder:

Rear: SB1010 M10 X 1.0
Front: SB8100 M8 X 1.0

From Russell:

Rear: 10mm X 1.0 Part# 639560
Front: 8mm X 1.0 X 34mm Part# 639550


I've found these to be a replacement/maintenance item if you're seeing intense heat cycles (tracking the car). Good replace them every year as a precaution.

it screws right out normally. You can’t get it to come out completely or to turn at all?
