Bitter that is excellent advice and good tool recommendation. I have those HF flare wrenches and they are crap. I have to find better ones. When I replaced my fuel filter the thread on the lines got corrupted. An old guy at the local hardware store showed me how to fix those threads using a fine file and I was able to screw the nut back on after i filed the threads, Took my time though.
I have braided brake lines that I want to put on my car but the upper line nut on the driver side front wheel is so jammed as it twists the line when I put force on it so I have not done that mod yet. I do have a propane torch so I will try that idea. Also I did not try to pop it with the palm of my hand. too scared to do some damage LOL. I will try to find the IRWIN wise grip you referenced in your post above locally first. Which flare wrenches you have? Brand name? |
