Brakes. They are arguably the most important aspect of any vehicle, performance or otherwise, but they are systems that do age, get damaged, or require upgrades, and YOU can do it.

Toni Copp of ‪@BrakeQuip‬ runs us through some of the basics when it comes to why brake hard lines are used instead of just running flex lines, like braided brake hose, throughout an entire vehicle, along with some of the common sizes and flaring options.
Toni also runs through what anyone interested in working on their own brake lines should have in their tool kit, and as always it includes making sure you use quality materials and quality, proven tools. That doesn't always just mean the most expensive ones you can find either, do your diligence.
Recommended tools for a job done once and done right:
- Quality flaring tool
- Straightener (that won't mar or damage your lines)
- Applicable benders (90 & 180 degrees are common)
- Stopper kit
- Line that is coiled and long to save on freight and the need for joiners
