    Hi guys. I just finished the Tundra brake upgrade for my taco and bought a new set of brake line wrenches. Long story short they were junk and I almost rounded off the 10mm fitting on the hard lines. Believe it or not my Craftsman 10mm open end wrench saved me.

    Anybody care to recommend a quality machined flare nut wrench? I could probably get by with just a 10mm. Do I need any other sizes for the taco (fuel/brake line)? I saw a wrench here locally that looked like it had a cam action that tightened to the size of the fitting but I didn't know if those were any good.

    TIA

    Mine are Snap On .

    You could most likely get away with the 10mm and 17mm

    I think 17mm is the fuel filter I am to tired to go and double check.

    Nothing worse then a rounded nut on a fuel line .
