The dealership where I live told me that the brake lines were obsolete for my 97.

I went to searching for brake line and found this SUR&R EZ 100 brake line on Amazon. Bends easy and flares real nice too! Check it out on Amazon and read the reviews and decide for yourself!

I also bought the CTA 9212 inline flare tool and it worked like a charm on the first go around. Bought that on Amazon along with the 25' coil of brake line.

I know 25' is alot of brake line but, I have 8 vehicles in the driveway and figured at some point, I will be using it again!

if you going to replace the line. next time take a pair of dykes and cut the line right at the nut. then put a socket on it. if its real rusty, tap a smaller socket on it.
