Rear brake cylinders sedan; 5/8" or 11/16"

1997 Geo Metro sedan, 4-door with 4 cylinder and 3-speed automatic transmission. Rear brake cylinder is 11/16" but I broke off the bleeder. Does the 5/8" cylinder bleeder fit ? What would happen if I put in two 5/8" cylinders ? Why do all the pictures at online parts suppliers look different than what I have ?

HELP !

Online suppliers usually show a generic picture. Just get what you need at your local store and they will help you out.

The 5/8ths will not work properly, the 4 door has larger wheel cylinders because the shoes and drums are also larger, I assume to compensate for slightly higher weight. The Bleeders _may_ be the same, a reputable parts store should be able to get good bleeders for you. I know the fronts are uncommon, the rears were listed as a regular 10mm at work, but I don't know if the 4 door is different at all.
