Default Brake line questions

Gearing up to tackle some rusty brake lines on my Son's 98 Civic.
What style flares are on this car? ( I want to buy a nice flaring tool before we get into the job)
What size are the lines/threads on the fittings? I assume everythig is metric and I will need a metric flaring tool correct?

Thanks so much in advance!

I know the nuts are a 10mm nut head. The flares, couldn't tell you. I suspect a standard flaring tool will work as long as you get the proper size lines and use the closest flare size to the line.

Unless you are using AN fittings, which require a 37 degree flare tool, a regular automotive flare tool that allows bubble flares will work. The size of the lines are 3/16th's
You can find these brake lines and tools at most local automotive tool places and on the internet as well.
Check Amazon or eBay for some good prices. Hope that helps out some.

A double flare tool will work...
