Size of brake bleeder valve?

Does anybody know the size of the bleeder valve for the brakes?
I've got some 3/8" tubing we used on my friends neon, will that fit?
TIA

the tubing doesn't need to be tight.
You need a 3/8" open end wrench (either that or a 10mm I think), but the tubing size really doesn't matter.

It just has to fit over the nipple.. not the whole Nut... He11, I've used a straw before.

Yep, just remember: "the nipple, not the nut."
