33598, rear brake line
Posted by streetlightning, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Im swaping from drum to disk. I tried to remove the brake line at the wheel well per the wiki, with a 10mmhahn flare nut wrench and it rounded. I thought mayb my wrench sucks. Went to sears and picked up a craftsman one. Tried it out on another untouched flare nut (the one i wont need) amd same deal. Wtf? I got it off with vice grips.. needless to say, the flare nut is chewed up. Can i cut the end off ajd reflare with a new nut? What are my options here? Thanks.

as long as you reflare it it should work just fine. Most people have them round off.

Usually i have had to just grab a pair of small vice grips to get these things off if they don't want to cooperate with a wrench.
