Drift Motion Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I just want to say, I ordered my brake lines from them. VERY good pricing compared to other vendors! Helped me out with super fast 2 day shipping Shipped Wednesday from NC, arrived in Cali on Friday. Very awesome! Definitely recommended! Although I spent the whole weekend trying to install them and failed that's my problem... and I don't know where I should put this thread...so I started it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 stripped the 10mm hard line to soft line nut.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've done that on 2 of my lines, but I managed to use vise grips to tighten the bolts. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That typically happens when an inferior tool is used. When a crappy 10mm flare nut wrench is used it will strip. Even a good wrench may strip if there is any play at all. It should be a very tight fit and when applying pressure you have to feel when the wrench is moving but the nut isn't. Usually if it gives way quickly it's loose and you're good. If it slowly turns you're stripping it and time to back off. Problem with vise grips is.... good luck next time. I haven't tried it but you could also try to square it off again with a Dremel or similar and use a 3/8 wrench on it (slightly smaller than a 10mm). Also a huge KNS Brakes fan. Great prices, good selection, and fantastic customer service.

Drift Motion Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I've decided to give up and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday to get it done $100, not bad at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Problem with vise grips is.... good luck next time. Yeah I know the nuts are toast from using the vise grips, I'm just hoping I'll never have to take them off again. Otherwise, I'll have to make new fittings with new nuts. My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
