[s-cars] Tips in R&Ring rear brake hoses?

[Aaron Taylor]

Here is a useful tip -
When using the special brake line wrenches with the slotted box end - After
you get the wrench around the nut, then squeeze the wrench closed around the
nut as tightly as possible with a pair of vice grips.
You may still break the nut off but at least you wont strip the flats off the
nut....
Works every time.
