line size is 3/16", what fitting are you talking about? The hardline male end fittings are M10x1.0 concave flare(aka bubble-flare)....are you needing the front or rear brake cylinder fittings?

as I suggested to the last person who asked this.....just go to the parts counter of the store you are at looking for the proper fitting, and ask for a wheel cyl. take it back to the shelf, and find one that fits properly.

As said, the original fittings are M10x1.0, and the lines need to be bubble flared.

If you going to be getting in on the GP you wont need to replace that line, its included as a SS line in the kit.....just FYI.

Unfortunately I have to because I have to drive it down to school but I am glad to know that. I had to take it to a dealer I did what you advised John I got the brake line and I figured the size but when I tried to get the line off my flare wrench nearly rounded the fitting so what can I do to avoid that next time?
