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 - Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs Porsche Road Test http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/ . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Ritchey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Mercedes Discussion List'" <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Saturday, July 14, 2007 10:45 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Brake Lines >I second this suggestion.
