Bleeding Front Hubs

What kind of wrench do you use to bleed the front hubs? A combo wrench goes onto the bleeder valves at an angle so the wrench is only half on the valve. I was able to get the driver's side valve loose but not the passenger's. Is there a better tool do do this with?

Try an offset wrench

I don't know what an offset wrench is. Is that what they're called in a parts store or Sears?

off set is not straight. it is bent just before the head of the wrench. giving an offset to the wrench.

OK, now I know what you're talking about. I think I have one of those but not the right size. That's one type of wrench I don't have. Thanks guys. I didn't even think of that.
