Thanks bros!! Too much help in this video🔥
Also if you want to straighten the line drill a hole through the width of a 2x4 same size as the tubing and pull it through the hole off the roll you will get a perfectly staight line.
Trentonjohnson thanks for the tip.
That is one slick vice-mounted flare tool. I also like the Eastwood on-car flare tool - that one needs to be in every mechanics toolbox. Wish I had those when I was rebuilding the body and rear brake lines on my Mk1 VW Jetta. I'll know better for next time!
Great video, only problem is you forgot the step where you flare the line and realize you forgot the fitting first 🤣😂
We made sure to do that off camera 2-3 times for good measure.
Lmao did this last time I did my brakes 😂
Curious if you know what that "spring" is that around the factory brake line.
Keeps tubing safe from any rubbing from vibration
It's brakeline armor - some people run it while other's don't. Adam wanted a cleaner look so opted for none.

How do you know by marking it were in the bending tool it has to be so it's in the correct position
When bending exhaust pipe the mark was always in the middle and on top.
Maybe same with brake lines?
Adam was marking the tubing where the bend should start and end then lining it up in the tubing bender with that info. So he'd have a black mark that was where the bend needed to be. Once you make one bend you'll see how it all lines up.
