What brand flare wrench do you use to open and secure brake lines?

I think someone made mention recently.

The effort was a bust, the SK Flare Wrench was not a match. The unions required crushing force to break the rust. Some generic CuNi like with pre made sold flare ends and nuts made it more expensive.

I've never had to destroy the CuNi lines coming from the brake warning check valve.

Everything unscrewed. Yet on the red 1990 240 Wagon, it was well corroded. So crushing force. Wish I had a small vice for that.

So, it all works, save for the persistent BRAKE FAILURE light.

Laptop Keyboards are AWFUL.
