Thanks 🙏

Kudos for the video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Trentvorty Safe Vehicle Theorem (do a google search)? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to repair your car the simple way minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate at last got cool success with it.

@@artysgarage6907 your work video is simple and more informative than others thanks.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣soooooo did he pass from brake failure 😳 🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣 when his car 🚗 caught that freightliner semi?

Lol

gonna be less humorous when it fails

That's true it's not legal to use that

Thanks bro you’re a good guy exactly the compression fittings may fail if you really slammed the brakes but these lines that we paid went to the rear drum brakes which don’t require or take much pressure put on a new modern, like a BMW and has amazing breaks if you slam them they may fail

Yeah it’s not legal to do a lot of stuff people do a lot of illegal stuff spinning want to relax stop signs passes. And flashlights on the school bus when it’s time few to go it’s time few to go if you’re not a part of question fins on the right way which I will with everybody not to miss video is only half of the people that know how to paint those question from the right way over timing them will make them fail on the timing them will make them fill him in Fleming lines can fill the best thing to do if you have brand new lines from the dealer do it but if it was just a quick fix just a quick fix for those haters out there thank of negative comments

It’s not legal to have those Sunday drivers out every weekend causing traffic also I’m accidents so you know what I’m not complaining about your comment but anything and fell when you’re driving anything where time is to go at a time is to go within that was just a quick fix video

Very true not only illegal but unsafe. Here in Rhode Island if it is even found during a safety inspection the vehicle automatically fails.

Dorman sells high pressure compression unions rated for 5000 psi. which are quite capable of handling the hydraulic pressure that cars dish out.

The brass fittings maybe but if you buy a good steel compression union it’s just as good if not better than flared union.

@@salvation4all313 I bought 4 at 10 bucks a pop and it says on the package but not in the add "not recommended for brake lines. I went the best route and made double flares instead. I'm confident they would hold but they might leak.

Exactly! That guy is showing a potentially dangerous method of brakeline repair!!

That's why u don't use a brake line you use a high pressure line for the coolent

Your training instructor is probably correct. This is just a temporary fix, I'm assumimg. If you read on, that's illegal. I need my break line fixed the correct and legal way.

Whatever gets the job done! lol..

My wife is still alive five years after I did a video I saw a gross # of other people that I did the same work on

Arty's Garage yes.. I’ll make sure to tighten the fittings for my wife.. good idea.. 🧐🤔😏

@@tuxievous420 remember not too tight, barely snug 😄

Mega Man Snug is more than enough 👌✨

Using "right" very loosely😂 this can be used as a short term fix to get down the road for a while, but they're illegal for a reason

Rite

Ah, yes! How this guy is repairing brake lines with commmon plumbing compression fittings is *_dangerous!_* Brake lines need the proper flare fittings with the ends of the tubing properly flared! Do NOT do what this guy is doing.

He is right ..for mo this is not even legal

Isnt that a bitch want something to brake it will hold forever hahaha

If you read the fine print on the compression fitting packaging it will say "not for use on brake lines". jcv1995 is 100% correct. Not meant for brakes and could easily blow apart in a hard braking situation. You're rolling the dice every time you take that car out but that's your call. Get a double flare / bubble flare tool and the correct fittings and repair it the right way.

You got lucky buddy. The compression fittings fail when a driver stomps the brakes in an emergency. That’s why they are illegal. Do the repair right. Your wife’s life on the line

My mechanic used compression fittings for my brake line repair. The other day, I almost had an accident and had to slam my brakes. My brakes blew. Don't use compression fittings on brakes. They will fail in these types of situations.

I learned a lot, thanks....

+Michael Pukmel welcome Michael

+Angela Jones you're welcome Angela consider sharing my video to your friends on social network happy Labor Day👍

+Angela Jones thanks again

So what is an alternative besides replacing the entire brake line?

Compression fittings yes do fail for the inexperienced mechanic performing the repair due to the fact they have to be tightened to the correct torque which is hard to predict for the inexperienced person performane the repair

I need a new brake line . Thanks for the info

@@kylehardy5256 brake line union

Exactly! That guy's video is potentially dangerous to anyone following this!

Blanca Garcia Thank you I put one on my wife’s car and it’s been on for 6 yrs I don’t know why these guys are going crazy about this I wouldn’t put one on a bus or truck but I’ve been using them for over 25yrs I have no problem yet

do a few panic stops while flooring the break pedal. wont take many of them to burst the fitting. especially with ABS brakes

arty it only takes one to fail and if your doing this type of repair and someone get hurt or dead you will be the one their family will take to the cleaners. If don't have it they will get a huge judgement against you so you will never have either

until it pops off and oops.... no brakes

He trying to get rid of you ! Honey !

Del I know the feeling

Sorry I wish you were in the Bronx I can help you out with your car

Well my problem was just my caliper was old. My car has 180,000 mile and the gaskets wore out so I just replace the caliper and rotors. My brake lines weren’t even rusted so it worked out.

I know the feeling, we are lucky to have a few backyard mechanics to utilize, they are just as experienced as a licensed mechanic, seen one guy do an engine replacement, having a problem similar to this, the guy I went to see asked what was going on, I told him and he said right away probably a leak in the brake line, still waiting on him to check it out and repair it, I don't have the tools really.

Welcome did you subscribe

+Omar Qureshi correct thanks Omar

thanks for the quick reply:)

Jeremy knight in a repair shop yes I flared lines n installed unions also I double flared lines as needed Ive done it on school buses N trucks but this is for the rookies out there quick fix hello

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Sure tell a bunch of rookies how to do a bullshit hack job so they can put peoples lives at risk, you're a moron.

Hey I did it kn my wife’s car 8 years ago and she still alive Its my top video on my KZfaq page And all the thumbs down with the mechanics why are they watching my video if they don’t have to do it the haters out there it’s good to show love love is good love is God I’ve done thousands of them never had a problem never God bless have a good one

@@artysgarage6907 Illegal

Watching sopranos right now haha

I’m in the same boat right now lmao

Yes right then why is my wife still alive

@@artysgarage6907 you dont love your wife

How do you flare a line under a vehicle attached to the vehicle in a tight spot? Best just to pull the entire line from the distribution blocks if you can get them out of course

+Storage Auction Videos will not quite sure what you're talking about maybe crossthreaddf or require a double flair

Yes They have theory But NO experience

I did this on my 98 3500 8 years ago. Drove across the country and up and down the East Coast. Still works great.

Nothing last forever even on new cars

@@artysgarage6907 EXACTLY

I done it more than a dozen times on cars and everybody is still alive forget about the hype don't listen to the height it's a Market bulshit Union Union Center Market b******* I told you everyone still alive.

@@artysgarage6907 Dude... Its literally illegal to install compression fittings on brake lines! You live in NY its listed all over package labels and on the NYSI regulations. The fact that you've done this to numerous vehicles before is very scary. A compression fitting only crimps down the lines it needs flares to prevent blowing out.

No you don’t have to replace the whole brake line just find a clean untrusted spot n cut n proceed

Steve Rzucidlo Just to let you know this is a temporary fix I collect the month to month three months a year it’s just a quick fix quick tip but I would use steel lines with steel fittings industrial-strength fittings they don’t want to great if you gonna be wasting your car slamming the brakes the block but if you drive normal they could last you a lifetime believe me I still have mine on since the video

Awesome! Thanks Arty.

That's very nice to hear thank so CPhillips

Arty's Garage I've been the lead tech in an auto body shop for a few decades. We also specialized in salvage rebuilds, licensed by the state. Every time we had totalled car come in we took a good look all around and under it. The majority of the worst ones, where there were stains from blood and guts on the dash, steering column and seat, almost all had brake jobs done with these awful compression fittings. You have not had any complaints, because your customers are likely dead. The dead don't call customer service. I've also been hired as an expert in court cases for major car accidents on behalf of insurance companies. If the car that caused the accident had compression fittings on the brake lines, all insurance claims were denied. In some of those cases, the person at fault was charged with manslaughter. If you have a legitimate shop, your insurance carrier will drop you if they know you are doing this. A spool of brake line 20 feet or better costs less than $30, a basic yet effective double flaring tool can be had for the same cost or less. There are lots of sources for learning how to use those tools correctly too. There is ZERO excuse to continue this deadly practice! Just because you haven't seen one fail means nothing. Compression fittings are designed to handle WATER at an average pressure of 30-50 pounds, max pressure of 150 pounds. A car that uses BRAKE FLUID, aka hydraulic fluid, has a normal pressure on a gradual stop of about 1500 pounds, and a panic stop will easily see 5000 pounds of pressure. No excuses for this!

Not quite sure but I just got a fit over the line he might have to use a file to get it and help it go over because a lot of times it’s contamination with rust n residue I just file it just a little bit even a nail file Steal one from your wife wife good luck

I'm sorry I responded so late but all I can tell you is watch my video once again can use your common sense if you live in the Bronx I can help you

No

I Love you All You can use the E break you’ll be OK

Just hope your not doing 85 when you hit the E-brake

Also downshift!

No e break is a completely separate system it’s mechanical you are actually pulling the mechanism in place with no booster just lever and pull action. That being said 40 is % of older vehicles are driving around without working e breaks no one tests them on inspections and repair is pricy as hell and most people can’t cough up the first set of repairs let alone another few hundred especially if they are driving Al older vehicle.

$1500

AGREED!! This clown arty is a smug hee haw mick-an-ik. And someone, sometime, somewhere will be seriously hurt or die.

My wife is still alive n so are a dozen of my customers at least a dozen by the way this is noted as a temp fix

@@artysgarage6907 Been researching. Why not just upgrade to steel compression/union which are rated at 5000lb? They are stocked at auto parts stores and cost about $8 each.

Peshewa diy you helped me DECIDE WHAT I NEED TO DO. Can you Please please help me. My brake light is on - after I filled ALL Fluids just yesterday also I know absolutely nothing about brakes why would a brake light come on last then eight hours after I filled every single needed thing under the hood I’ve only had the car for one day and this is happening and I will not drive it nor do I have the money or the mental capacity to think about this upset nor do I have an knowledgeable mechanic just some backyard guy that says all I need to do is bleed the brake line I don’t know about you but I know I don’t feel safe with this dude telling me it’s a easy fix please please text me back ASAP because now it’s just sitting there after I did everything humanly knowledgeable to get it ready to be drivable and now the big bright RED BRAKE LITE ON ! And it won’t go off again I don’t know anybody and I sure don’t have thousands of dollars to put into a 15-year-old car that I just have had for only two days can you help me figure this out and direct me into a safe way to drive this car thank you so much I am near his steric tears and yet I can’t get an answer from ANYONE.

I told agree with you compression fittings if you’re not done by someone that is very professional and they will blow you got to tighten them at the right amount of pressure if they can flare out perfectly and not for someone to do that never did them before number to flaming lines is the right way yes but you can have an ordinary person nonetheless even a beat Mechanic perform this job I need a mechanic that that’s done it more than once unions are the best way to go other than that anything you going to call anything to blow at any time I’ll break like to go a matter something and go anything in gold and anything can happen to anybody when the time is to go the time is to go thank you for your response OK if you see my description I wrote it a quick trip Quickfix happy holidays to everybody thank you for your response God bless everybody in the family happy holidays to everybody again

The one closer to the reservoir or towards the firewall

No problem Michael

Try Auto-zones pep boys Napa

Thanks but Those fittings were Copper -.Nickel which are superior to steel fittings

+Arty's Garage most people don't know to look for copper nickel. Still the point really is, pay attention to the construction and psi rating of fittings on brake lines. m.hydraulicspneumatics.com/fittings-amp-couplings/it-s-material-world

Thanks for the info👍

You have to flare both ends with a flaring tool. You then use a joiner for flared ends. Compression fittings are not 100% reliable by design. Doesn't matter what they're made of. If your cheap return the flaring tool when your done

Not at all
