best way to check - stick a normal spanner on it ( to get the size )
but i would guess at say 10mm or summat like that ?
think its bigger than a 10, i think its a 12mm not possitive though :( sorry

Well even I would like to know the answer to this one, I have a full set of flares buy none seem to be the right size? A 10 mm open end is very close, but please don\'t try undoing it with a 10 as you will round off the nut!:HammerJust want to say a 10mm open will not coralate to a 10mm flare as the size is taken from the thread on brake lines.
well, that was interesting.
10mm is too small, 11mm is too big :(
anyone got any bright ideas how to get it off?
are you trying a propper brake line spanner?? the one thats almost closed... not a normal c spanner??
yeah, three for two from halfrauds....
got 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14mm flare nut spanners and none fit!! :Grrr :Grrr
I use a TINY pair of snap-on stillsons for flare nuts. Nothing resists and usually you get new nuts on the new pipes.
it\'s all good, turns out it is in fact 10mm. Just I was too hungover to use a spanner properly!!
Ah... the hangover problem... I often do jobs on a Saturday morning and wonder why it\'s a complete baxxs up!
