Anybody know what sizes the flare nuts on the rear brake lines(as in where it enters the wheel cylinder) are? And the prop valve?

I'm buying flare nut wrenches and it'd be a help to know ahead of time.

AND any suggestions/techniques for removing them (original wheel cylinders+lines)

The underbodys almost rust free, but the brake lines aren't.

Prop. valve will be the same, but MC lines are various sizes. Do yourself a favor and purchase a set of flare wrenches with multiple sizes

buy good flare wrenches, not the cheapies. cheap flare wrenches will round over the bleeder and connections/fittings on the lines. use alot of pb plaster and let it soak in or you will twist the steel lines when turning the fittings.
