Default HELP!! brake lines...
Ok. so i'm trying to take off my brake lines to replace them. But i'm having trouble with the top end of the line. pelican parts said something about how you can break that hard steel line so you need to be careful. Any tips??

I replaced my lines with upgraded one. Had trouble with the rear, and stripped the heads on 2 out of 4 of the rears. Ended up having a shop replace the ones I couldn't get on, since I was there doing other stuff.

Be careful, if you brake the line, you can't drive the car.

Be very careful with front lines, i had to order mine from germany for the special end pieces which took a good 2 weeks to get.
