Wheel bearing sorted thanks.
Just fitting the new front brake hose when I noticed the nut on the brake pipe has a split in it Pic attached below.
I have a flaring tool so I'm hoping I can put a new nut on the pipe and re do the flare.
Can someone tell me what nut I need to order from ESM?

Re: Brake union nuts
3/8" UNF for the front flexible. Shown on the linked drawing.
As Bill suggests, I would contact ESM. I think both front and rear are 3/8" UNF depending on year.
Do you have a 3/8" UNF bolt to carefully screw into the pipe end to check?

"Or a 3/8 UNF nut to try on your pipe nut
"
Why didn't I think of that too.
