in an attempt to put on my new ss brake lines i ran into a roblem, i cant break the olds ones loose i beieve its a 10mm nut i have to spin but its not doing anything but twisting. i cant get it to break loose, how did u guys get urs free?

 

Try some PB Blaster

 

i tried that, i got a new can just for this project, still nothing

 

Are you using a regular open ended wrench, or a flare wrench?

 

standard open ended

 

Thats the reason why.

You need to use the correct tool for this job.

 

flare nut wrench

and try and turn the stock brake line(rubber) and NOT the metal hard line

its much easier to strip the bolt on the hard line than the bolt on the rubber lines

 

be carefull or you will do what i did and strip the nut on teh hardline. now i have to go order a new hardline.

 

Dam another deal i need to buy, I assume you can't fit a 10mm 1/4 socket drive in there?

 

Ummm, not so much.

 

not unless you cut the end of the hard line off.

just buy the 10mm flare nut wrench. they're like $5 at Sears.
I have a 17mm one for oxygen sensors too. it's saved my **** a couple times on customer cars.
