Thanks http://cl.ly/.../WP_20140826_004.jpg (This post was edited by philippepom on Aug 26, 2014, 12:33 PM) Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 26, 2014, 12:54 PM Post #2 of 4 (1289 views) Re: How are those named Sign In Those are what I call "flare nut" wrenches. The idea is they grab much more % of the nut than an open end one and much less apt to round it off. Used on tubing commonly brake lines, cooling lines, fuel lines. Use those not open ended ones when needed. Just FYI the part to watch if old or corrosion exists is that the line doesn't spin with the nut or you'll wreck it. Know that the seal is the flare of the line NOT the threads of those nuts too. Everything is critical but don't mess up with brake stuff, T philippepom User Aug 26, 2014, 1:16 PM Post #3 of 4 (1282 views) Re: How are those named Sign In Thanks a lot.

The slot is so it will slide over the line and grab better than an open end would. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
