Im trying to take off my old brake lines and im having some problems. There are three nuts, one is on the hard line one in between the hose and hardline and one on the hose.... which one do I disconnect? The hard line on the passenger side already snapped so thats going to be a bitch to replace. Does anyone know the exact size line wrench to use?

Thanks

The actual bolts on the line dont want to budge but the hard line bolt will come loose... sorry guys just really stumped here im learning along the way.

You got me confused...there should only be one bolt to take out to get the line off the caliper. Take a picture if you can

Are you talking about the front? If so there is a bolt that connect the line to the hose and an E-clip that has to be removed. The E-clip hols the line to the bracket and the nut is what hold the line in. Be sure to use line wrenchs and a penetracting oil or you WILL mess them up.

Sorry guys, what im trying to say is after the brake line there is a hardline correct? the one that runs up into the engine bay. I snapped the fitting off that so im going to have to replace the whole line. I want to know what I have to do in order to get the brake line dissconected from the hardline on the drivers side so I dont screw up again. I used two flare wrenches but the actual nut on the brake line, not the hard line does not want to move. What size is this nut?
