well while removing (or trying to at least) the pass side front caliper brake hose to install a longer hose, I ran in to the issue that the fitting is stripping out on the threads even with a flare-nut wrench. So I stopped and sprayed it down with liq wrench hoping that may help.
The drivers side was Tight and locked on pretty good but it made it fine and is done but the pass is not going to give I think. So I was thinking of trying a small pipe wrench on the nut and vise grips on the hose bracket later tonight. If that doesnt work though I have on eof the two options. Either replace the entire line back the the prop. valve. or try to repair the the stock old line by cutting it just up from the nut and sliding on a new nut and reflaring it.
I have rented and tried to reflare a hard line on my TJ a few years back and it was the most POS tool ever. Given it was a autozone rental, but it was one that they sell and new and unused though.
Anyone ever have luck with a double flare tool and getting a older stock 3/16" line redone and usable? If so, do you have the tool or where did you get it from, and what brand or such?
Thanks
