If you do you have to cut the line to install a new flare nut and then reflare the line. There is not alot of extra line or room to work so I would only do it if absolutely necessary.

dlq04 - thanks for the news about it being a three part system, not a 2-part.

I think that's just the ABS electronics that are a 3-channel system. The hydraulic system is still a segregated into two systems.

Cheers,

what about cutting the nut off, unflaring the rigid brake line and install a new nut and reflare it so it stays on like normal?

where can i buy one of those nuts and is there a flare tool or something else i could use?

i believe it's a US type flare where it's female-like, correct me if i'm wrong.

i guess if i cut off a flare, it'd only be no more than a quarter of an inch. that shouldn't effect anything too much.

now where would i get a new nut??

Aarron,
I cant beleive you turn to board member for help....J/K!
That nut looks impossible...maybe just cut it off and get a replacement is the best way to go...
