**Brake Line Double Flare Tool Kit:

If you're going to install just one line then get ni-copp, not that much more and will never rust again. Plus you can bend by hand, easier to work with. However I would actually recommend buying a complete set of brake lines and replacing all, cause if one goes out the others aren't far behind and like you said your life is on the line.

Working in a chemical plant for 43 years we had and used every brand of penetrating oil available and found KROIL the BEST penetrating oil bar none.

Great video! I'm gonna be replacing brake lines on my 98 F150. Bought it as a project truck, I'm only 21 but want to teach myself how to work on cars. Thank you!

If the fitting is stubborn and you don’t need the old line then just cut the line and use a 6 point socket on the fitting

Spray your steel brake lines and fuel lines with aerosol rustproofing oil. They will never rust again.I do this every time my car is on a hoist for an oil change.

good video, but u should use gloves since its very corrosive

That's cool you got to meet Eric O. I met him at Ericthecarguy's meet up and enjoyed hanging out with him for a few minutes. Your a natural in front of the camera. You explained the process very well. Thanks.

Just cut the backs off. Hit the lines from the ABS module with some sand paper (clean metal) then bleed (Ez), crimp the tips. heat the tips with a propane torch put some flux on, then get the cutting torch out and just weld the backs off. LOL.. When the backs are so far gone and the car is worth 1200... Roll out with brakes. 30 min job. Back on the road. As long as the beater got the heater. And GOOD front brakes! DO at your own risk. It's a money saver if you got no options.

Thanks very much. This has been a big help because that's exactly what I'm repairing right now. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the step-by-step. It's been a long time, but I feel better about tackling the job now.

I have a '97 Ford F150. Probably time to check those brake lines. But AFTER I try to repair or replace the severely rusted frame and brake lines on my '93 GMC "Jimmy". I got the lines loose that are below the master cylinder. BUT the lines and fittings to the rear are really rusted. May not be able to clean and repair. May wind up with new lines and new brake hose. While I'm doing this, I experiment with other ways. BTW. I don't have a lift. I must raise this rust bucket, and crawl on the floor under this heap, with crap falling in my face. By heating the brass or steel end of the rear brake hose to expand it, I blew the rubber brake hose. Oh well, just another trip to Advance Auto/Car Quest.

Excellent...and very good advice.

Nice video I'm going to have to do my brake lines soon. Thanks for posting. Bob
