Living in the Rust Belt, Fel-Pro C5-A has been my best friend for many years, but even that superior anti-seize was not enough to prevent the steel line nuts from freezing solid to the Cunifer brake lines.

I used to complain about Volvo using brass line nuts because they would round over when trying to remove them, that was, until I bought an 11mm Proto line wrench; now, I can see their wisdom.

I've been fabricating brake lines from Cunifer for awhile and I have searched for BRASS, 10 X 1.0 MM line nuts almost as long without finding a source for them. I'm starting to think that the brass line nuts are a Volvo proprietary item and not available to the Great Unwashed.
