Had a seized line on my 77 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham and that condensed air did just the trick, thanks!

Holy shit you fixed my truck when I was visiting South Carolina your friggin awesome!!!!! This guy knows is a no bullshit mechanic tier one, thank you.

I like to re-purpose the old brake fluids and lines on the ole Mother-in-Law's car :)

Good bye turkey baster! I love the "Ketch-up Bottle" idea! It is worth a sub! Thankyou fer the good intell!

great info and tips. really appreciate the canned air try, very helpful for my 67 Fairlane

Crap, those brake lines look like heaven to me. You should see my Minnesota F150 lines. Rusty crusty...still trying to get them off.

thanks guys I just replaced caliper and the rear master cylinder chamber emptied. thought the previous brake worker mixed up the lines he did reduce from 1/4' to 3/16' nice color my 79 bronco was the same, now maroon chevy's keep coming my way.

FYI it is never wise to breathe in brake dust, especially because some older brake parts used to be made with asbestos. Please wear a mask if you decide to go with the canned air trick and avoid deep breaths. Yes I'm a Mom, good and informative video fellas, thank you ✌️

I've used a metric line wrench on problem fittings like that one. Thanks for the great videos

Yea Im up under the car, 27 year old 240SX vert. There is a junction for the rear brakes near the fuel tank so aint gonna light no fires down there. Caint turn it too hard or make yet one more hole in the chassis. So next gonna try your Co2 method. Its 35 degrees lol but hopefully this will work. Been WD40ing the $hit out of it for week, argh. Also gonna try your penetrant shown that foams the rust. Let's GOOO back to the parts store ONE MORE TIME!!! Subbed, great vid guys.

Given how reasonably priced brake lines are you could do a lot worse than replace the lot. When a vehicle gets a good bit of age on it like this one you can never be sure how it has been mis treated and bodged over the years. New brake lines,hoses and fluid means you got the confidence to know everything is good and not going to fail on you.

Thank you thank yoy thank you. The CO2/keyboard cleaner trick worked immediately. I tried vice grips, vicegrips over the flare wrench, torching it. I sprayed 3seconds of “Duster” (brand-name) gripped the hell out of the vices and it cracked!

Good show fellas. Thanks for the great tips.

Hey guys. I've just discovered your vids and think they're great. Am restoring a 69 Nova and in Australia so practical hints and tips are all appreciated. Should you ever see your way clear to doing a vid on quarter glass/window trim fit and adjust on a nova it'd be awesome. Keep up the fantastic work! All the best. Mick

Thanks lads

Parrot-nose style vice grips can be useful in those situations

Great video guys thanks for those tips

Great video, really helpful. Thanks

Great tips, thanks guys! (stay cool)

Gee whiz, you've got to use vice-grips. It's not that big-a' deal. It happens. That's why they make different kinds of tools. When one tool doesn't work, grab the next one.

I’ve been changing lines ever since I blew out a line on my truck and had almost 0 brakes

What size is that wrench because I just have standard wrenches

I just did a 2002 dodge truck way way worse than this! Total piece of rust! USE PROPANE HEAT(not as hot) and put a candle to it, the wax goes to the threads and they always come right off😊 i heat it apply wax, wait 5min hear again apply wax and remove nut easy peezy every time even on super old rusty lines👍👍👍👍👍

Great quality😮

What state are you guys in?

Factory should just use stainless lines and fittings with copper crush washers. One would think it'd be required for safety.

nice video as always

What do I do, my brake line nut rounded off, including the one on the brake hose? Take brackets off and replace the entire hard line? Or is there some other method

At 8:06, 'Cam' discusses brake fluid, describing it to be 'hygroscopic.' As a characteristic, this means that brake fluid readily absorbs moisture from the air. While water may lend to rusting brake lines from within, the most significant problem with water in the lines is that the fluid's pressure and temperature in the lines can lead to the boiling of any water present, at which time the water changes state from liquid to vapor, a gas. Liquids are not compressible, which is the desired characteristic for its use in hydraulics. Gases ARE compressible, however. For this reason, if there is water in your brake lines [with the potential for vaporizing] you risk the loss of braking capability. The more extreme the braking, the more likely you are to 'lose the pedal' . . . with potentially serious consequences.

you fail to mention the number one reason to change the hosr is internal collapsing and not allowing the fuih to reservoir resulting in seized brake

While you are on the brakes topic, can you talk about making the cab brake warning light function properly.

Line wrench’s don’t always work on a stuck brake line, even after Penetrating oil. I had to use two pairs of vise grips.

another tip : don't use synthetic on old systems. the rubber lines and seals are not rated for it. Also vise grip makes a nice pair of pliers with V notches which are great for rounded off nuts.

Small pipe wrench bro... works every time

I find many of the flare nut wrenches have a poor tolerance and fit slopy, even the more expensive ones.

Vice grips? Why not switch from standard to metric to go a little smaller? Them pipe wrenches cant do that can they hehe

Try using an VISE-GRIP 7LW Locking Wrench. It doesn't depend on the corners

why are you running spacers on this truck.?

Has anyone considered welding something on for non slip leverage on a rounded off nut to get it off? right now I’m looking at someone else’s failed attempt to get there beak line off... there brake line nut’s looks like skateboard wheels ( perfectly round) no grip is available at all, so to get it off I think it’s going to require some extra steps haha

6:33 lol

Need a Big Ass Fan. Boy is red as a beet!

Vice grips

Wait! What???? 1954 Chevy???? When are we gonna see that beauty????????????????

The prob at 4:55 is what do you do about the rounded nut?

not helpful at all wasted 6 bucks on co2 still stripped the line smh using line wrench
