ThreeSheds Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Impressed! This thing easily undid my very rusty 16 year old brake pipe union... This is the one I bought, but obviously you may be able to find it cheaper or better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Looks nice. I see they do a 5 piece kit with different sized on each end. https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637204732/brake-pipe-spanner-set-4pc-ratcheting https://www.rapidonline.com/sealey-vs0343-flare-nut-spanner-set-4pc-ratcheting-89-6987 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeSheds Posted July 1, 2019 Author Share Posted July 1, 2019 The tale takes a new twist... Yesterday I did some more work on the brakes... and soon found a flare-nut that the new spanner didn't work on. Subsequent investigation showed that it was a 10mm nut. Bugger! So I went round and checked the others, and it seems I have multiple 11mm, a few 10mm and one 9mm (yes nine!) This on e '53 Disco. I think that the 11mm and 10mm might be original and the 9mm is a bit of a patch repair... Luckily I can cut out the b'stard sized ones since I am replacing those pipes with n-i-i-ice Cunifer ones... But if you work on old cars then maybe you should get a set because I can tell you that the 11mm spanner will not even look at a 10mm nut Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
