    Rear brake hardline 11mm nut?

    While in the process of dropping rear end, I stripped both left & right side 11mm hardline nut connecting to trailing arm. Yes I was using flare wrenches but nuts would not budge, used pb blaster, heat with no luck. So I decided with vice grip and finally got it to break loose. Now need both hardlines replaced.

    Anyone know part # ? Or aftermarket recommendations ?

    Thanks in advance!

      3/16" brake line is very close to the stock size. You need bubble flare with 10 mm nuts. The industry standard part number is PAE-3xx (where xx = length in inches) or, alternately, PAEX-3xx. I've been able to get them at Advance Auto and the like.

        Those brake lines will bend ?

        Thanks for the replies!

          Yes but I would use a bend tool (https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/p...w80674/4614547)or bend it around a circular object. If you try to bend it freehand it can kink.
