Forgot to mention that 3/8 is too small, 7/16, too large. I'll do what I
can cleaning up the flats but there's not much room to get to at least a
couple of them. Gonna hit it with heat too, but the big problem is that
neither metric or SAE open end or flare nut wrenches fit. They're either
too small or too small.
And of course I'll need to get it all back together after I replace the
wheel cylinder which is totally shot and not rebuildable in place. I'd
really prefer NOT to have to replace the hard line, too.
