Hardlines without dropping subframe?

do they rent a flaring tool at autozone for the for the copper lines? also what size connectors do I need to fit the OE brackets and softlines? thanks

I had my own tool, so I didn't ask, but I imagine they would have a flare tool for use. The copper line and fittings are the exact same size as the factory stuff. IIRC 3/16th line and 11mm male fittings that you'll bubble flare. 14mm bubble couplers if you pair two lines together (NEVER try to pair them via compression fittings). Again, good luck guys!

you can do it the easy, half ass way i do at the shop. try your best to just hack out the old lines. and then put the new lines in wherever you can fit em. they don't necessarily need to be in the same spot. just bend em around obstacles like subframe all that crap. nice and easy as long as no one looks under the car

Are you guys talking about copper for brakes ?

It's great to work with but it does get brittle with age and it prone to corrosion. Plus if its in contact with any other metal AND salt...you get a battery !

There must be a reason other than cost, that mfgs haven't used copper since they stopped making Deusenbergs. Just my 2c

To be more clear, it's a copper/nickel/alloy composition and DOT approved. There is a good chunk of information on it here: http://www.cunifer.com/

what a pain in the ass it is to use the autozone flaring tool btw....i hope mine hold up, they looked a little squirly, but I still figured they were good enough to hold the pressure, if not I'm buying pre-flared and will bend it in different shapes to get it to fit
