brake ine replacment

i went to get my 96 f150 inspected today and the guy said i would need to replace the front brake line first. so i jacked up the truck and went under there to remove the lines, but i cant get a wrench to fit the nuts is it standerd of metric, and they are so rusted that everything i put on it just slips around

I had a hell of a time getting mine off a few months back. You're going to want to use a flare nut wrench because those things love to round off with regular wrenches. I believe the size was 10mm, but I could be mistaken.

If you don't already have a good manual, click the black Bronco in my signature & look in the Brakes & Hubs album.
