    Master cylinder
    OK, guys here we go. I have a rounded brake line nut on the master cylinder and need some help taking it off. Any suggestions? Thanks

    Didn't use flare nut wrenches... right?

    Vice grips always worked for me... but if they were that buggered up... the brake line really needs replaced too.

    I have flare wrenches. The nut was already rounded

    If you end up replacing the brake line and installing a new nut, be sure to use a double-flaring tool to properly form the ends.
