If you're going to install just one line then get ni-copp, not that much more and will never rust again. Plus you can bend by hand, easier to work with. However I would actually recommend buying a complete set of brake lines and replacing all, cause if one goes out the others aren't far behind and like you said your life is on the line.

Great video! I'm gonna be replacing brake lines on my 98 F150. Bought it as a project truck, I'm only 21 but want to teach myself how to work on cars. Thank you!

That's cool you got to meet Eric O. I met him at Ericthecarguy's meet up and enjoyed hanging out with him for a few minutes. Your a natural in front of the camera. You explained the process very well. Thanks.

Thanks for the step-by-step. It's been a long time, but I feel better about tackling the job now.

I have a '97 Ford F150. Probably time to check those brake lines. But AFTER I try to repair or replace the severely rusted frame and brake lines on my '93 GMC "Jimmy". I got the lines loose that are below the master cylinder. BUT the lines and fittings to the rear are really rusted. May not be able to clean and repair. May wind up with new lines and new brake hose. While I'm doing this, I experiment with other ways. BTW. I don't have a lift. I must raise this rust bucket, and crawl on the floor under this heap, with crap falling in my face. By heating the brass or steel end of the rear brake hose to expand it, I blew the rubber brake hose. Oh well, just another trip to Advance Auto/Car Quest. I watched a video of this gal who made her own rust solvent/ penetrator. She used a 50/50 mix of acetone and trany fluid. This takes many attempts. Soak with solvent. Let set for an hour or two. Then put the torch to heat the brass fitting, not the nut. Brass should expand from the heat so the nut will loosen This worked on the front fittings.

Thanks very much. This has been a big help because that's exactly what I'm repairing right now. 👍👍👍👍

Nice video I'm going to have to do my brake lines soon. Thanks for posting. Bob

Thank you sir. You have been very helpful and straightforward. Thanks also for the website s.

Nicely done.

Hey Glen..You just had a bad day on Sunday starting out with both vehicles letting you down :) Very nice step-by-step procedure of how to flare brake lines. I'm sure this video will be very helpful to a lot of folks out there. Take care...

yer a legend bro! Thank you!! 🙏🙏🤙

Good stuff again Ozz. Can't wait to see you be the newb on the body shop vid!

Great video man.

Oh man that was one sexy dude in the end of that vid haha! Great vid Ozzstar and it taught me how to make brake lines :D. Well actually I started making brake lines when I was about 5 here in NY lol. Next time sir get yourself some Nicopp line. You will thank me for it. Thanks for the shout out and feel free to stop in any time you are passing through the area again. --Eric O.

Well done buddy and you send me a sticker too , not a SMA haha , glad you had a chance to meet the gang down there. Cheers

Great vid. I have a 95 bronco and this video was very helpful. Thank you!

If the fitting is stubborn and you don’t need the old line then just cut the line and use a 6 point socket on the fitting

Excellent...and very good advice.

great video very informative im feeling confident i can do it after watching thanks

Thanks

nice vid. WIth all the rust around here I have plenty of experience with doing brake lines.

Lmao noticed when he was talking about the Chinese flaring set he was using his middles finger and banging the package and when he was talking about the US flaring set he was more careful with the package and was using his index finger lmmfao. I like this guy

Thank you very kindly for the informative video.

Thank u

That road salt really gives you a hard time with brake tubing . Nice work handle that repair !

Thanks for the help.

I do not have the patience to mess with tubing. I would go through a whole roll of that stuff, and still not have the job done. Not to mention the soar throat from all the cursing and swearing. LOL great video. -John

Great video! But why is it when 1 car has issues its like always another vehicle too

Just hold the old one up to the new one and it will be the same length and you can easily match the bend. Faster and easier

great vid.very helpful...TY

Thank-you

Spray your steel brake lines and fuel lines with aerosol rustproofing oil. They will never rust again.I do this every time my car is on a hoist for an oil change.

Cool

Hey there I have a 1999 sunfire and I won't to know you a video of 99 sunfire brake line repair where it is liking is just one spot

Do you have to bend it the same way.

nice video

If you were just replacing a small bad straight section, say of 10 inches with new line with two SAE inverted flare unions,one on each end, how much shorter should you cut your new section piece to allow for the two unions that weren't there originally?

Chevy beats!

what size tubing do i need to fix a 96 grand Marquis

Just cut the backs off. Hit the lines from the ABS module with some sand paper (clean metal) then bleed (Ez), crimp the tips. heat the tips with a propane torch put some flux on, then get the cutting torch out and just weld the backs off. LOL.. When the backs are so far gone and the car is worth 1200... Roll out with brakes. 30 min job. Back on the road. As long as the beater got the heater. And GOOD front brakes! DO at your own risk. It's a money saver if you got no options.

Gd job

did the same line you did 2 days ago F250, did it in copper/Nickle, got it all flared up, tightened everything, open the bleeder valve, pressed the peddle a few times, went under the truck, nothing, then i looked up towards the front of the truck, line upfront burst at the master to the ABS controller. you just can't win when it comes to Fords.

I can hear myself explaining that I'm replacing brake lines because I have a dead battery to the Mrs. now... Guess we know why Chaos is always smiling!

Tip of my flare is scratched n leaking

U can use unions

97 jeep brake line

No Chinese hahaha!!! Got it

Lucky it didn't happen on the move buddy or you would have been down two wheel, sphincter clenching, braking. Ouch. !!!

good video, but u should use gloves since its very corrosive

say you make it seem so simple but welcome to the real world, where you cant even see where the line went through the fire wall and crosses over to the other side of vehicle through the fender well

Working in a chemical plant for 43 years we had and used every brand of penetrating oil available and found KROIL the BEST penetrating oil bar none.
