hard brake lines

[wader191]

I just replaced my rubber lines with steel braided lines and all went good until the last one where the end nut on my hard line rounded even with a line wrench! I made the decision to put a new flair nut on the end and 3/16 doesn't fit. does anyone know if the hard line is metric or something? Am I missing something?

I had the same problem when I went to install the braided hoses. The very first one rounded off under my line wrench pretty easy. IIRC, I was using a 10 mm wrench, but I'm not positive.

This car is all metric. Except the wheel diameter. The key to removing the lines is to give the wrench a good hit. Trying to slowly turning the wrench to break the seal is how they get rounded off.
