    Brake Unions

    Hello,
    I'm fitting some wilwoods and i've got my rear braided hoses on and i've tried fitting the fronts but the unions are seized and rounded off (both sides) tried WD40 with mole grips, but no luck.

    So i'm going to cut them off, but before i do i just want to know what unions i need.
    Metric or Imperial? I'm guessing there pretty much the same size, right?

    Cheers

    you will need a brake pipe flaring tool if you cut the unions off..
