Flare wrench for brake lines...
Hey guys, I'm swapping in rear integra disc brakes tomorrow and would like to just clarify that the only flare wrench to use is a 10mm.
Is that correct? what about the soft lines do I use a normal wrench for those or do I still use the flare wrench?
thanks

I'd use a flare wrench on all of the lines just to make sure you don't strip them..
10mm.

Re: (PINEAPPLE)
it is still possible to round off a fitting with a flare nut wrench... it happened to me and it wasn't because I was using the wrong size wrench either
put some penetrating oil on there and make sure all the undercoating is cleaned off of the fittings before you start wrenching on them
good luck

Re: (IHateJDM)
I'm going to be pulling rear discs off my LS soon.....
If you are interested: http://www.harborfreight.com/c...=5126
Should be good enough since I would not expect the lines to be torqued to 80ft/lbs.
Any tips for removing the brake system?
