Rear bleed nipples different size from front?

Do all 911's have different size bleed nipples on the rear and the front? I did a search and couldn't find anything....

I've got my system all put back together after replacing the brake lines and rebuilding the front calipers, and notice (to my dismay, as I don't have a small enough wrench) that the rears are smaller than the fronts. 9mm on front, looks like 7mm on the rears?

Always looking for a good excuse to buy more tools .

Is this the stock set-up? If so, why?

Sometimes replacement bleeders are different size but the hole is the same, Get some speed bleeders and the will be all the same.

Yes - I believe the rears are 7mm. Just did mine two weeks ago.
