Default Help with Brake line nut Sizes

Hey guys. Anyone know the size of nut in the rear brake line where it "T's" to the two rear calipers? Looking to replace the nut at the "T." Thank you.

did you strip it or are your tools very selective?
Once you open up that line, you'll need to bleed the entire system.
