The one on the slave cylinder takes a 7/16 wrench and the ones located on the wheel cylinders take a 3/8. I want to replace a couple but don't know the thread size/pitch.
Help?

They do have two different o.e.m. p/ns the wheel cylinder screw is p/n 5455122, it has 3/8" X 24 t.p.i. X 1 1/64", the Hydrovac screw is o.e.m. p/n 2261467 also 3/8" X 24 t.p.i. X 1 1/64", so I guess the difference in the part number is the size of the hex. Some crosses for those part numbers are Carlson H9402
