  • As most of you know, Jose is a Certified Mechanic for over 15 years. Part of the reason why we wanted to start “DrunkledTuned.Garage” was not only to provide a positive car community, but to help others build/fix their vehicles 👍🏽
    With that said, we’ve started an IGTV Series called: DTG Lesson 101. We will be posting short mechanic lessons where you could learn and get some tips on how to fix your vehicles. These videos will also be posted here on our channel for those who do not have Instagram.
    We are definitely open to any suggestions as to what you would like to see in our IGTV series.
    And always, we thank you for watching!

    Yes if badly rusted you should replace the whole line, but under the circumstances this was amazing. Wow, and then to video the whole process under those conditions was incredible. Did you have any problems cracking open the bleeder values, many times those things crumble.

      Hey, if you're still on here, how would I figure out how much pipe would I would need to replace a whole line. On a 2013 hyundai genesis 4 door? I looked at diagrams on Google and cant find the amount of feet i need to replace the whole thing. FYI, I'm not doing the work, so I'm not physically able to measure it.

    that's amazing stuff given the conditions....but that's not going to last..you have a concave flare going into a concave union (cup connecting to a cup) so you'll never have a proper seal..great work to get you to a shop in an emergency but it'll need chopping out and redoing...

    Noticed the single flare, can a double be used instead? A single flare fits over a din bubble flare better, but seems like singles should never be used.

    Don't you need double (inverted) flare for the brake lines ? (Or bubble for Europeans)

  • @BigThomTattoos
    @BigThomTattoos 3 місяці тому

    I have been messing with this same problem...I bought a Double flare repair kit from Amazon and I have had to redo the flares over and over again because they won't seal (1 fitting is still leaking) you do a single flare once and have no issues 🤬🤬🤬 lol

  • @xz1228
    @xz1228 Рік тому +6

    Actually I believe the flare that is legal for brakes is a double flare, not a single flare that you made. But I expect that will work in a pinch as a temporary fix.
