Hello Scott,
I changed the metal brake lines and the rubber hoses, calipers, rotors,
etc last weekend on my 91 W124. I used 3 flare nut wrenches IIRC - 17mm &
13mm for the rubber to metal connection at the chassis & a 13mm where the
rubber hose connects to the caliper.
I bought a 5 pc set of Craftsman flare nut wrenches from Sears not long
ago for around $30 I believe. IIRC they were on sale.
It's getting extremely hard to buy stuff that is not made in China -
thankfully the Craftsman stuff is
US made and high quality -
Good luck -
