Replacing rubber brake lines, i'm about to lose it

[HotRodPC]

I tried everything on mine, soak, heat, soak, vice grips, I ended up replacing the lines, and the proportioning valve- (that was worse) it’s not that expensive and you have piece of mind, not to mention how much trouble you’re going to have getting those old lines to reseal if you do get them disconnected.

With a cheap tubing bender, a good flare tool and a tubing cutter, you can make your own pretty easy with some patience.

I bought a set of these and if there’s enough bend in the line near the fitting you can break it loose pretty easily. I’m sure other manufacturers with a more reasonable price but I never looked.

I had my engine out and front end off the truck for 2 weeks.
If I'd had a brain, I woulda replaced those hoses while I could just stand in the bay and do it.
But..................NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm doing exactly that. No need to fight anything I don't have to.
