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.

@@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

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,

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 KZitem 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!
