Anybody know the size of the nut for the fitting that goes through the frame for the flexible line from wheel. I lost my brakes today 'cause of a pinhole leak in the line. I got it off the wheel but I've tried a 15mm on the fitting that goes through the frame and it was too small. Tried a 5/8ths which seemed too big. Is it a 16mm? Are there 16mm fittings on a GMC? If it is I need to buy one but I don't want one if I don't need it.

the one on mine is 5/8 should need just to hold to unscrew the brake line from the back, then knock holding clip free

Oh it gets un coupled from the hard line? The Haynes manual says something about a backout wrench but I don't know what one is. Hopefully the light of day proves better than the fading light of dusk.
Thanks a lot Diaric

ya, i'm pretty sure the hard line does the unscrewing, like a normal brake line. the flexible part is just clipped on, so it has a fitting to hold it
