Brake line question.
Wouldn't you guess that an XJ will never let a job go by without a single hiccup? lol
I was replacing the rear brake hardware and wheel cylinders. I got the passenger side done, no problem (minus a scrapped knuckle). As soon as I get to the driver side and attempt to loosen the brake line, the 22 year old line just twists and snaps. Oh well.. can't fault it. Was probably due anyway. Sooo, of course I need to replace, and I figure since I need to do one side go ahead and change out the other. No biggy, right?
Will this guy right here work? 3/16" tubing, 30" long.

I've never done brake flaring before, so I don't want to risk screwing it up if I can just buy this. What do ya'll think? Also, will it need bent?

There are 4 types of brake line nut tread:
American
European
Japanese

Remove your old brake line nuts and go to store to match.
Or you can use old nuts and rent flare tool.
