Front caliper replace, copper seals? flare wrench?

I am going to replace both front calipers before winter due to ripped boots and I had a few questions that I can't find answered in the Bentley manual.

1. Is there a part number for the copper seals? Is it one per bolt or two?
2. Do I need to use a flare wrench for the banjo bolt?

Thanks in advance,
Russell

Guess I posted too soon. A little better looking on RealOEM.com shows the part as 34301165767. It lists 4 of them for $0.41 I wonder how much the dealer will charge.

Ok, so that's done, but I'd still like advice on the flare wrench if anyone knows.

Flare wrench for the line? You may have luck with a standard one but it never hurts to have an extra tool.

You do not have to replace the entire caliper.

Do not need flare, a box will do just fine.
