Flare Wrench Set. Size And Where To Buy Recommendatios


Koblenz

Recommended Posts

I would like to get a set of flare wrenches by tomorrow morning.  Finishing touches on brake work.  What is the minimum wrench size (8mm ?) that i need and what store is most likely to carry them on shelf.  I like Craftsman and I found a set of 5  but the smallest is 9mm.

 

Additionally I am planning the after brake work beer,  Thinking a nice Schofferhofer grapefruit with the hot Florida weather.  Open to suggestions here as well.

The flare wrench I use on my brake work ('75 and '76) is an 11mm on one end, 12mm on the other.  I just went out and looked at it and it does not appear as though the 12mm end has ever been used.  Some work situation may vary, but the 11mm has served me well.

I found Craftsman (at the Sears store) did not offer a small flare wrench.  I purchased both 7mm and 8mm combination wrenches for bleeding the brakes.

 

Endless possibilities exist for a cold brew.  I like IPA's.  We are lucky to have Port City close by.

Sounds as though  I will need an 8.  Good ol Alexandria.  Haven't tried the beer, (6.3%) had fun in that city.  Are the patrol cars still white with a black stripe?

 

 

BTW.  Neither tell a law enforcement officer. "You say tomato, I say to tomatow."

 Luckily I hadn't noticed  :ph34r:.     Watch "Remember the Titans" for good Alexandria stuff.  TC Williams High school is just down the street from my previous church (on King Street).

11mm.  Only one I ever really use on BMW's.

 

I liked SK, back when they existed.

 

And Fish Tale back when it made it this far north in a keg.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
