Hey got a question for ya and i hope some1 can answer this. I am trying to replace all the rubber brakes hose with ss one and when i try to loosen up the hard brake line with the flare nut wrench it starts to square off. Question, is there a better way to take them off (WD40s?)or do i need some better tools(the one i got was from kragen)?


Thanks

Using the correct size wrench? Kinda hard to round one using a proper sized flare wrench. IIRC it's 10mm. I've used a beefy set of vice-grips in a last resort situation before.

if you are using the right size wrenches there shouldnt be an issue...probably wouldnt hurt to spray them with PB blaster and letting it soak a little.

Use the boxes end wrenches.

a line wrench is designed for exactly what you are doing go buy a set they are worth it

Yea i did use the 10 mm flare wrench, but it still round off the edge. If even use Wd40. Maybe a better brand name would be better?

Maybe, I had my passenger front line rusted so bad I ended up twisting the line and having to replace it.
