rear cylinder brake line nut size - Saxperience

Needed to change the rear cylinder's as they had been leaking. Drivers side was no problem, however the passenger side is completely rounded and stuck in.

I'm going to replace the line, but i having trouble locating the nut to hold the brake line in the cylinder.

I believe its a M12 Thread with a 3/18 hole for the brake pipe. Is anyone able to confirm this?

Its a 2001 1.1 Saxo (No ABS)

yup they are typically M10 or M12 x1.0 pitch on french stuff, 3/16" tube, the spanner flats are almost always 11mm.

They are M12x1.0 for use with 3/16 (5mm) brake pipe on the rear cylinders as it's a non ABS version.

They're 14mm across the flats from memory. If it's slipping providing you've not annihilated it, just cut the brake pipe and get a 6 point socket on it.
