Tubing Size?

Does anyone know what size tubing is needed to bleed the Akebono sports brakes?

I see a lot of people using DYI methods, but I don't seem to see them listing the tubing size that connects to the bleeder port.

If anyone can provide this information to me, it would be great.

Thank you all in advance.

1/4" ID should suffice, but I'd just take the bleeder screw to the hardware store and get the clear tubing that fits snugly over it. Some say using vacuum line is good, but having it clear so you can see even the smallest bubbles is best.
