Default Shocks and Brakes

ok, I purchased new shocks for the rear and a new reman. master cyl. I could not figure out what size sockets/wrenches I need for them, and for the bleeder 'screws' in the rear and front.... ( also if anyone knows what size socket I need for the rear differential drain plug....
Any assistance would be appreciated, ty.

88 Cherokee Laredo......

The rear diff does not have a drain plug you just pry the cover off and the fluid will ruch out. And pick up a Hynes repair manual It will all be in there.

off the top of my head... shocks are 3/4" bottom rear bolts and 13mm upper rear bolts. fronts might be 13mm bottom and 9/16" upper? as for the brake stuff, get line wrenches from 3/8" to 9/16" and you'll be covered.
