Question What size Wrench needed to Disconect Brake Lines?

Just a quick question.. What size wrench do I need to disconnect the brake lines at the rear? Changing out my wheel cylinder and I wanted to buy a flared nut wrench to remove the fuel line.

I think its 10mm but I am not sure and my online manual doesn't have it in there.

Yeah I wish I could buy a set of flare nut wrenches but buying one alone is already $12 and the only size I'll ever need will be to remove brake lines\fuel lines.

That's what I'll be doing I guess... if only I could get the size! No one knows the size of a Brake line?

haah thanks Kickz.. I picked up a 10mm today so hopefully it works. CT is pretty cool I was able to loan a one man Vaccuum pump to blead the brakes. They also have lots of other tools you can borrow for free.. pretty neat.

Yup 10mm. Question, can you buy bleeder screws from the dealer? One of mine is stripped, and if I can get it off with vice grips I'd like to replace it.

Yeah got one from the dealer. $7.00 wow talk about mark up lol. I had went to Canadian Tire and they told me they don't sell them. I am pretty sure he just lied because he didn't look it up. Oh well. Hopefully I can get the rounded one off.
