Seriously great video for someone trying to learn how to replace a line. He spoke clearly, slow but steady and explained with good detail. The video was also well done with great positioning , good lighting, good explanation while filming, showing and using the proper tools and why certain steps are necessary for a completely correct job on said vehicle. I will now look for videos with the O’Reillys stamp. Thanks again. 👍🏼
Great video. I find it helpfull to put a drop of oil on the adapter stem on the flaring tool. Prevents binding that can snap the stem. Then clean oil off line.
This video turned my $500 truck off of Facebook marketplace to a $3000 sell! There's hundreds of trucks on marketplace for $400-$600, and alls that's wrong with them are the break lines, and it's an easy fix!! This is how to make bank, I can do at least one vehicle a day while I'm young.
you can't just sell cars without a dealers license buddy. you can sell just 3 a year before you're breaking the law. and looking at fines and jail time.
@@jeffhicks8428ur dumb, you don’t need a dealer license to sell a vehicle anywhere, anyone can sell a vehicle, as long as customer pays for it and signs that they own the truck, and gets it registered.
Wish you had done a closeup of the double flaring of the brake line while you were doing it. Would have been great to see what it looked like after the adapter. Was it a bubble flare??
I'm trying to put a pre-bent line in place and when I tighten the nut, the tube turns. I don't want to damage a $68 tube. How do I stop it turning when I turn the nut?
Oh if the brake hose is attached by a bracket or bolted loosen those first and you can connect it much easier,turn the new line bolt in by hand first the do the other side going to the cylinder/or caliper, then kinda wiggle the bracket back to the bolt holes and try to slowly put the brake hose brackets bolts back in,
@@raisagorbachov ahh ok most pre bent are aftermarket coated lines, and your problem sounds like the problem I had with my brothers brake line which is coated my bad
@@zanderx7 Yeah, my question was geared more towards the removal of the entire line, and to get it back in there. I have an 08’ Honda civic and if you ever tried working in the engine bay, I was looking for a way around it, as the alt was to drop the motor and transmission lol. I upgraded to a bbk and wanted to redo all my lines, but instead I found a method that would allow me to run the BBK without any modifications having to be made to the abs module or brake lines themselves. Been going strong for a while now 😎. Appreciate it though
@2:31 the brake line plug linked as 16. Is not the right part. That is for the hose. Where can I find the brake line plug? It is not a threaded bolt it is the opposite. Female connector.
When you flare an existing steel line that can't be removed from the vehicle how do you hold the big vice while you're flaring the line? Just kidding but the professional who did the rear brakes on my 1980 Chevy K20 in 1979 used a pair of vice grips to tighten the rubber hose nut and rounded all the corners off. I will have to cut the steel line off and either try make a short piece of line to connect the new rubber line. The other option is to run a new copper line to an existing joint (about 8' away). The problem is that this joint is inside the frame with an exhaust pipe in the way. I can remove the exhaust pipe but I'm not sure I'll be able to loosen the joint. I'm converting the rear drum brakes to disc brakes with ruffstuff kit and not an easy job like all the RU-vid videos show,'
Copper brake line is a great alternative to steel, with it being much easier to bend, cut and flare when replacing your own brake line. On top of that copper lines will not rust like their steel counterparts. Copper brake line is also DOT approved for hydraulic use, meaning it is strong enough for braking applications. Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@19NinetyUK is it legal in the uk to use a joiner, I just ordered cooper 3/16 but steel pipe has broken just after rear flexi and runs all the way to the front of the car, I now need to either join it or run full new cooper pipe 😤 arghhh ?
