Replacing Brake hardlines

[psyber_0ptix]

thats awesome, are you doing just the rear or thinking about refreshing the front hard lines as well?

At this point I figure it's just labor, so I aim to tackle the front as well.

use a regular or flarenut crows foot 'socket' on an extension to reach up/down to valve. a long screw driver or ? can be used to keep pressure on backside of fitting when tightening and help with alignment

Is that a 14mm size?

Is that a 14mm size?

sorry brain fade here size seems about right though. I wasn't having fun with that replacement. I loosely connected the lower line first then used a long screwdriver gently pushing down on top of the upper line fitting to ease it into and hold pressure down to start the threads in the upper connection. The brake lines seem to have a mind of their own. go figure
