I need to run a brake line (existing is no good anymore), and i figured that i should just do it myself instead of paying for them at honda

i understand how it all works, and how to do it, but i just have a few technicalities to work out:

- Does honda use a 37degree or 45degree inverted flare?
- Where can i get the brake line nuts that are needed? I believe its 10 x 1.0
- Are our brake lines 3/16ths? cuz i did some practice flares and it seems that my tool is really hacking up the tube, as though its too small, maybe i just have a shitty tool?

Anyways, thanks a lot for anyone who has any input... anything else i should know about hondas brake lines, or making custom lines would be a big help!

PS: i did ALOT of searching already, and on the internet there isnt much info other then "how to flare"... which ive already read up on

 

just get some stainless steal braided lines...

$100 better than OEM, far better...

 

that also could be an option... what fittings would be used?

 

They come with fittings...

premade ready to be installed...

 

Direct swap, and they are made for each application.

 

wait... given that you're trying to figure out how to flare the line..... is this a hard line???

 

lol.. guys, im not talking about that part of the brake line

im talkiing more master cylinder to proportioning valve to front brake hoses (note, they are LINES, not hoses that i am refering to whcih need to be ran)

yes, they are hardlines, which is why i am asking about FLARING

thanks for the contributions

 

oohhh, my bad...

i see what you are saying now

you probly just got a shitty tool...

 

You might want to try asking around in the fabrication/welding forum.
You may have better luck there...

BTW are you the one on K20a.org that is testing the Euro R manifold? similar SN if not exactly the same?

 

all i know is that we (brother, dad, and myself) replaced the hard lines on my brothers old 89 accord and it was a pain in the ***. the best thing that i can say is take your time b/c if you gotta make the bends as you go. one kink and your back to squair one. but thain again we had to replace the rear passenger side line. what line are you replaceing? i don't know the specs that your looking for but hear is my .02


good luck
