Default bleeding brembo brakes nipple size!!

Hello. I need to bleed my brembo calipers on my legacy, Red brembos front and rear, I presume same or similar to the Sti gold ones. Air in the system and foot flat to the floor. I just want to get them bled so I can drive it to mechanic for full brake service so want to do it on the cheap with some hose and a plastic bottle. Anyone know waht size tubing/fuel line is best fit on nipples?

Brembo uses RED as its corporate colour so yes there are various Brembo / other manufacturer factory calipers in RED............BUT as stated above no Subaru / Brembo factory calipers in RED.........

whilst similar the Mitsi calipers use a different spec altogether as do Volvo, Alfa, etc.........
