Brake Line Removal - Help?

[ralexander03@snet.net (Rick Alexander)]

Yep, they are special and you are finding out that the two sided open end
wrench will just round off the soft metal of the fittings. The wrench that
you want is more like a box end wrench with a slot in it that will be able
to be slid over the tube. These wrenches grip the fitting on all but one
side and will not round the fitting. These should be available anywhere you
can buy regular wrenches with the possible exception of the local flea
market.

Good luck.
