Stripped 10mm nuts
Stripped 10mm nuts
So I finally got the car up on jackstands and the more I delve into the engine bay and suspension the more I see how undercared the car was with her previous owners.
Long story short, I was in the process of replacing the brake lines with SS ones and ran into a problem. 3 of the 4 10mm nuts on the ABS lines were stripped already and the 10mm flare nut wrench wouldnt even work on them.
Any ideas on how to get them off would be great. Also Im going to need to replace them but I cant seem to find them on any sites. Am I going to have to have a dealer order parts for me?

What type of flare nut wrench are you using? I have Craftsman and they worked great for me. Also, I've read cheapo flare nut wrenches (from Kragen for example) can make an easy job not so easy! Try vice grips and PB Blaster on the rounded nuts overnight.
