Brake Line Oops!

[EMD567]

I use Kroil, and let it soak for a day or so. I have a new rubber line coming for the LF on my 5 ton that is badly chafed, and will replace it next Friday.

These are awesome for this kind of thing. Google vise grip wrench. If you ever get one, you will be buying the other sizes as well.

Which one were you working on? I did the rear awhile ago

Broke that brash fitting had to get a new one.

I was doing the front-passenger side. The rubber hose there had a split in it, not leaking but why wait, since I had to bleed the brakes anyway.

Blurry pic but here it is. My first time bending hard lines since...maybe 1985? The off-the-shelf NAPA ones are 30" and it seems like the stock one was closer to 24" so there's a little extra that has to hang down and be looped around. But it's in there! Haven't bled yet but all seems to fit up well.
