Blackie 510 Report post Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Fronts on an E36. Usually I don't have an issue, but someone seems to have done them up so tight that they feel they are going to round before breaking loose. Doesn't help that access is a bit sh1t for larger tools. Have tried open ended wrenches and my flare nut wrench set (it skipped). Would prefer to undo at the brake line nut as I'm biffing the calipers (and the hoses after this). Any suggestions? Thanks Edited November 11, 2022 by Blackie nut Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've found that with the supercheap auto brake spanners they skip. But my regular teng spanners don't have that issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
