I have to replace my wheel cylinder and I need to know what size the brake line nut takes. The one right underneath the bleeder screw. Anyone know the size?


Also...I have a 1986 and I can tell I am the first one to touch this thing. Am i going to be able to get this thing off with a flared wrench or should I just install a new line anyways so I can cut it and put a socket over it?

Any help is appreciated..

 

thats funny i am in the process of doing the same thing, the nut on mine is 12 mm it was also the first time someone touched it, i finally got it off with vice grips and a hammer (twisting the line ) I sprayed the damn thing with penitrating oil for 3 days. does anyone know if advanced auto parts carrys that line?

 

I highly doubt advanced has it..I had to replace the line on the drivers side and they just gave me a universal one and it worked. So you used vise grips? Did you have to tighten those like a mother? because i thought about that but *stripping* is always in the back of my head.

 

Well...here's what I did dude..

I just said forget it, cut the line and put a long pry-bar in between the plate and the cylinder and WHAM just got that old thing outta there. Retainer clip and all..So im startin from scratch at the T near the diff.
