I started with the proper size wrench, but all it did was strip the hex.

Did you use a flare nut wrench?

This has probably been beaten to death all ready, but is DOT4 brake
fluid the same stuff referred to as Lockheed or Girling?
<<<snip>>>
AFAIK yes I have a letter someplace from Castrol that says their GT
LMA (DOT 4) is approved by Girling.
<<<Snip>>>
Can I safely use any fluid marked DOT4?
<<<snip>>>
I have, but what I used may not be the same brand as what you use.
<<<Snip>>>
How about the brands that claim to be both DOT3 and DOT4?
<<<Snip>>>
AFAIK, the main difference between the two is moisture absorbing. DOT 4
absorbs less. So, naturally the newer DOT 4 is usable where DOT 3 was
specified years ago when there wasn't any DOT 4.
