| anyone know what size the brake line fittings are so I can buy the right wrench instead of the $50 set of metric and standard line wrenches? Im doing the F-body upgrade this weekend and this project has cost me enough already I dont need to buy anymore tools that I'll use like once or twice. |

| good luck, just did my rear brakes tonight with new stainless steel lines, what a son of a BIT*H, be prepared to shed some blood. I belive i used a 16mm wrench to get the plastic nut going to the caliper side, 12mm for the line going to the master cylinder. make sure u have a good pair of vice grips to get the clip off. Oh yeah and the new stainless steel fittings (if you purchased) are a 17mm wrench |

| yeah I know what you went through, I did this once on my 99gt, and it was not fun, thats why I was picking some brains around here to see if anyone knew. |

| Now Im not normally one to answer my own questions, but I found that a torch and a good pair of vice grips works best...that is until I the bracket on the front drivers side bent until the screw snapped off in the hole so its probably best to remove the bracket and put 2 sets of vice grips one on the line and one on the metal end of the hose and twist in opposite ways...lets just say thank god for zip ties. |
