One of the rear brake hoses on my '83 240 was clogged so I took it off to replace. The lock nut was /extremely/ difficult to remove and I ended up destroying the threads on the old hose and the nut during extraction.

When I picked up the new hose today I was disappointed to discover that it does not come with a new washer and nut. Does anyone know the size and TPI of this nut? The guys at NAPA had no idea what it was nor where to find it, short of pulling one from the junk yard (unfortunately junked 240s are in short supply around here).

For reference purposes here is the hose in question:

Thanks all.
