Flare Nut Wrench Required to Change Brake Lines

Punko · 06-04-2013, 07:05 PM

Going to install a set of SS brake lines.

Do I need a flare nut wrench?

I believe it is 11mm or 14mm, can anyone confirm?

Thanks

I don't know the size but when I did SS lines on my z3 mcoupe I definitely needed them. without them you will likely strip the fittings.

I believe I used a 14 and an 11

You can do it without, but I prefer to use one.
The fittings on the lines I had on the OE calipers are 14mm
