It's been a couple of years so forgive me if I have something wrong here.

The 7/16 threads on brake fittings all appear to be NF (fine thread) BUT the "nuts" on FLARED fittings are not. The thread where the rubber hose screws into the front wheel cylinder IS 7/16 fine but not for the where the flared tubing screws into a rear wheel cylinder. Drove me crazy for a while.

By the way, is that hinged tool for axle threads available anywhere?
