Haha, figures. That was the one I was trying to get off
Well I'll ask my boss tomorrow for a flare wrench. He's big into cars and will probably have it.

I found another quirky thing... when taking the lower caliper piece off, the lower mounting bolts were much more difficult to get off than the top, for all four calipers..... who knows

So needless to say, yesterday I had to admit defeat, skip the lines, and flush and bleed the system with the stock lines still on. Unfortunately I don't have another car to get me around, so since my car's going in for an alignment tomorrow, I may get them to do that at the same time.

Thanks for your input anyway!
