Not to suggest improper methodology but couldn't you use a crescent wrench?
Pick up some speed bleeders and put them in while you're doing the job.

If the standard crescent doesn't get the job done you could always try a
metric one...

Brian,

Actually, for the front right, I "DID" do just that. I used a 3/8" socket
(which barely fit on the bleeder w/ the wheel in place) and it did crack it
loose.

No such tricks worked for the front left. As I described, it's just larger
than 9m and just smaller than 3/8"!

Needless to say (I guess it's needless), I don't have repair manual - never
have. I wonder what the repair manual says should be the size of these
bleeders. Anyone have one for the '97?
