clutch master/slave cylinder question

I'm trying to remove both items from my car, but the hydrolic lines are screwed in too snug for a standard wrench.

so i'm looking around for a good quality line wrench.. jsut wanted to quickly confirm with all you experts it is a 10mm i need? not a 9mm or anything like that?

i think 8mm is definitely too small, but 10 with my cheap wrench is a little loose.

but i think my other 1st gen was a 10mm...


any quick confirmation would be apreciated

10 mm for the hose as Doc said. 8 mm for the bleeder and 17 mm for the female hex part at the firewall bracket.

I personally use Blackhawk flare nut wrenches, work awesome. A flare nut wrench is the right tool for the job.

i got my hands on a great 1mm craftsman flare nut wrench ( line wrench is so much easier to type)

and now i'm sort of soaking the 17mm hex end that links into the old clutch slave in hopes i'll be able to break the seal with my crap 17mm wrench

sigh ever since i got my new car i've been one tool behind the curve trying to get it on the road
