I'm not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure 12mm and 14mm offset wrenches will do it (offset for clearance from the caliper when doing the bleed nipple, etc.). Ive tried 12, 13, 14 and 15mm seems like its between the 14 and 15. Any help would be appreciated. Just finished upgrading all six of my lines last weekend. Any help or direction to go would be awesome Ive been trying since yesterday morning to get this out and cant seem to get it. I am also going to invest in some Snap On flare nut wrenches while I'm doing the job but I don't know if my Corvette uses SAE or metric line nuts. So far I haven't noticed any difference but I have yet to do any hard braking. But to my surprise the SAE 9/16 was the better fit on the metal brake line nut and I beleive like a 5/8 on the actual hose nut. Manage Preferences -
I intially purchased metric because most nuts on my car are metric so far.
