1/2 inch would be the SAE size.

not on the 11's and use line wrenches.

Never used line wrench at any time of my 30 years of working on cars.
So you can use standard tools if you're careful with them and how you use them on the components.
Anyway, good luck for sure.

An incorrect wrench size is a great way to strip a brake line hex... use the correct tool.

They are 12mm, not 1/2".



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
