I wanted to replaced the rubber brake and clutch hoses with steel braided. The old ones looked original with cracks all over the outside rubber. Most of the flare nut fittings were seized and were rounding when using flare nut wrenches. In addition, I tried regular wrenches, vise grips, chisel/ hammer, and lots o' pb blaster. Nothing worked. Finally, tried a small pipe wrench. It worked great. The pipe wrench left some nicks on the flare nuts but not bad enough to prevent the use of a flare nut wrench to tighten. Hope this helps some one. Have a safe and prosperous New Year.
