Question Doing my first brake upgrade... 2 dumb yet simple questions?

This weekend, weather permitting, I'll be doing my first stage brake upgrades, and have 2 no-brainer questions:
What size is the front hub nut? For my life, I can't remember. (and I don't want to end up walking to the parts store. ) I'm pretty sure I've got the tools, but just wanted to doublecheck)
And, I'm adding stainless lines, among other things, and (I think) I won't need it, but, you don't need flair wrenches to unhook the soft lines, right? The soft hoses should just have clips?
(Bear with me, its been a while, LOL).

Wish me luck and quicker stops,

J

Just use an adjustable wrench/channel lock pliers for the hub nut, it is not very tight anyway.
The brake line wrenches would be nice to have, but are not necessary to remove the lines. The soft lines are held to the car with clips, but still hav eto bu unbolted from the hard lines.

Thanks Jarrett, If everything goes at least slightly ok, I'll be hooked up by this time tommorow, <G>

Though I'm still debating if I should go ahead and add the 73mm calipers, LOL. I guess I'll have to sleep on it. But hell, I've got em,
