Installed my SS brake lines on my speed3 today. Managed to installed 3/4 of the lines. I could not remove the line going to the caliper on the front passenger side. I rounded the 13mm nut a little bit and decided to quit before doing more damage. The way the line is positioned, I couldn't slip on a 13mm flared wrench so I just used various 13mm wrenches with no luck. I already blasted it with PB Blaster and let it sit for a while before attempting to take remove the nut.

Any advice on how to take this nut out?

I read that Snap-on Flank Drive Plus wrenches seem to work pretty good for these type of nuts. Anyone have a 13mm that I can borrow? Else I guess I could try vice grips and risk mangling the nut. Last resort would be to cut the line and use a socket extractor on the nut.
