I bought a new hard brake line kit from Cruiser Corps because I twisted one front driver lines clean off while attempting to remove it from the soft line and I nicked the rear line while cutting off one of the rear u-bolts. Yesterday I tried to remove the male fittings and found they were seized at every connection. Decided to cut out the lines and remove the fittings in the vise. The tips of the fittings were deformed into a slightly larger diameter and buggered up the threads while I twisted them out. Maybe this is why Toyota changed to 10mm fittings from late 1970 and later FJ40's.
Question: would you use a thread chaser to hopefully repair the existing tees or find replacements? My on-line search did not find any M9 x 1 tees. I need two "3-way tees" and one "2-way tee". Anyone have a M9 x 1 thread chaser?
