You will need a tube bender, flaring tool for double bubble flare ends, brake line, the best you can buy, and new male metric threaded nipples. Take off the old line and make a duplicate then install it, one by one . >>>>>Anyone have any tips on replacing brake lines? Searched the forum, but didn't see much. I've watched some YouTube videos on how to do it: _http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Im2NVo1aw0&NR=1&feature=fvwp_ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Im2NVo1aw0&NR=1&feature=fvwp) - didn't know if there were better resources. I have a leak in a line that goes from the left rear to the rear connector. I'm finding rust in other parts of the system and I'm thinking of replacing with all new lines.<<<<<
