Finished putting on my coilovers. Figured what the hell, it's up in air anyway, might as well put on the brake hoses I bought with the rotor/carrier upgrade. Mistake, grrrr. What are these fittings made of, brass? Flare nut wrenches and all, shredded three fittings. No prob, get some brake line and a few fittings, back in business. Wrong again, need a bubble flaring tool, not the fine double flare tool that I own. Grrrr again.

 

that's weird, my car has unbelievable amount of rust and i got mine off just fine. well the part that connects to the caliper came off fine. did you get the right size line? you did use pb blaster right?

 

Yeah, it came right out of the caliper. The fitting where the hardline goes into the hose was/is the problem. It's standard 4.75 line which is also 3/16. I need a different flaring tool. I'll look around tomorrow for one.
