I picked up a set of line wrenches, can't really see the difference in a flare nut wrench, they are Kobalt from Lowes. Seem to be pretty good quality. They would hold the nut tight but the nut was so frozen it just wouldn't budge. I had to take the vice grips and tighten them down hard as heck with my allen wrenches just to get it to break loose. What a pain!!!
