flare wrench
Hello brakers,
l have to remove the brake line from the backing
plate 86 camaro drum brakes..
Can someone please tell me what size wrench
I should purchase for that job?
Any other tools I will need I have to swap my brake lines
to another rear end.

If you can get one that has a 10mm end and a 12mm end. Then you be able to do almost all brake lines. You need a 10mm though.

Transmission: all OD
Axle/Gears: Always the good ones
Note: Only try this after line refuses to come off normally and you have used penetrating oil.
You can actually clamp vise grips around the head of the flare wrench to keep it from spreading ot help break a frozen line free.
Like I said be careful and only do this after u try normal avenues and obviously ahve to have room to do it.
Some of the lesser experienced guys may not realize it and I thought it might help them out.

The ultimate line/flare wrench:
You'll never round off, mangle/distort a flare nut with a set of these.

WTF are those called ? Wouldn't work on a lot of our applications because you would not have room to turn it, however a smaller version might ?
