Time to bust out the vise grips. Flare wrenches are used so things like this dont happen.

All you gotta due is cut the lines goto autozone and tell them what happened. I had this happen to me and it cost me no more than $10 to fix.... Just a thought

maybe i'm not understanding what you're saying.

are you saying that you've removed the old prop valve, but two of the screws are stripped? i dont see why you need new lines since you can just replace the screws that go into the prop valve? arent they just loosely sitting at the end of the lines?

goddamn people, i cut the fittings off so now there is just a square end, now if i flare the end and put a fitting there it wont reach

meaning i cut a little too much off

ok i did the rear disc swap , im sure you guys dont know what is involved since you guys just bench wrench but it involves removing the prop valve ans swapping it for an integra one

now there are 6 lines, maybe itll help if you go look at it? now i stripped the 2 on the left side that go all the way back to the rear of the car

then i cut off, then the old prop valve cameoff and i removed the stripped bolts and threw it away, then i walked over to the ef drum set i had sitting in the backyard, cut the fittingss off of that and see if i could strech it over, not the case it wont reach

ok how about this if you've never done it before dont respond like you:

Am I the only person who thinks this kid should maybe stop talking **** and learn how to ask questions the right way? Since you are from the 951... bro, why dont you stick to your lifted trucks with your SRH stickers and a dirtbike? Maybe your mid-calf black socks are too tight and are cutting off circulation. Or it could be the flat bill hat around your head along with the black hair dye that is really messing with your thought process.

You uh don't think that compression fitting is a bit dangerous do you? I was thinking they say on the box not to use them on brake lines. Just wondering.

It is not physically possibly to strip a flare nut with the right sized flare nut wrench. How did you really strip it?

I would just take that whole line out and run a new one. I did both of my rear brake hard lines recently and it wasn't too bad.

Well to his defense.. ive seen ill made flare wrenches by powerbuilt (schuck's brand) and they will strip the crap out of the nut because the are a bit loose.. i know because i used them before it they suck.. then we went out and go craftsman.. and it made the biggest differences.. it held the nut well and turn without inducting fear of "feeling like the nut is going to round off".

lesson learned that day is that i wont go with crap tools no more.. LOL

Yes yes, where in my post did I mention bench racing? Get out of the double-wide and lay off the meth. You are starting to become paranoid. You are a laugh a minute. In order for your comments to be true we first need proof that I was bench racing and bench building. All this wisdom from building more motors than me in one day and you manage to strip your hardlines... good job. Before you start on your little pathetic comebacks, maybe you should have evidence of my bench racing and bench building... fagg0t. Grammar and punctuation &gt; you, but I dont expect much from somoene living in the 951... "bro".
