its a 10 mm spanner
Flare Nut Spanner, it looks like an open ended ring spanner, there normally sold in sets, Bunnings have el-cheapos that do the job...heres an example (http://typhoononline.com.au/flare-spanner-metric-p-381.html) of what to expect.

You grip the flare nut with the 10mm flare nut spanner, grip the line with a 17mm open end and then you can squeze the spanners together to give you the ability to undo
Please use a good quality spanner as if you cheap out here you will be up for new lines and this can be very expensive
When you assemble, use a small amout of locktite on the caliper bolts (ones that bolt caliper bracket to the hub) and torque up
When you put the rotors on make sure you clean the hubs of any rust etc so the rotors sit nice and flat
When you put on the wheels, get a good torque wrence and use that, dont swing off a 3 foot bar like some ****wits have told people to do here in the past, unless you want warped rotors and also stuffed studs
I assume that all has arrive safe and sound lol
