95 dodge avenger es. I replaced the abs pump but I had to cut off the brake lines because the flare nuts were too tighten.
I need to loosen the flare nuts where the brake line connects to the brake hose close to the caliper. I don't know why is that tighten but I tryed with wrenches, vise grips, the special wrench (half open) hex inside but even that one make it round without even loosen it. Do I have to use a torch or is there another technique to do it? What's the right wrench to do this job?
I've had the same problem with my brake line fittings, even with the line wrenches. The problem with the line wrenches is that the harder you try turn it the more the ends of the wrench spread apart and will eventually round the fitting.
I got some special Vise Grips http://www.irwin.com/irwin/consumer/jhtml/detail.jhtml?prodId=IrwinProd100328
It grips on three sides of the nut (every other side) and with the locking plier design you can get it very tight.
One trick I've learned is to rock the pliers back and forth and adjust it again tighter. So far there hasn't been a fitting I couldn't remove.
