Only one maker of flair nut wrenches really work, SnapOn tools. Even Craftsman at Sears are too weak to do the job. The 850 brake lines are 11mm IIRC, but just take a regular wrench and check it out for size. The caliper end is usually easier than the brake line end, where you need 2 wrenches.

If I were you, I would do both front brakes lines at the same time. And flush the fluid with new DOT 4.
