Default Got some new brake Goodridge SS brake lines... Any "how to:" replace?

The paint has been melting off my driver side rim (bubbling, then peels off) Definately a sweet thing so I decided to replace the brake lines to hopefully solve the problem. Any "How to"s laying around?

Next up: Finding the other leak on the back side of the block

On the plus side - UPS delivered some new Azenis to me about 30 minutes ago. vulcantire.com now has them in stock

Remember to use a flare wrench (10mm or 12mm I forgot....) to loosen the brass nut.

Installation is a breeze. At each wheel, the line is connected to the caliper and to the hard line in the wheel well. The hard line connection has a clip that you will need to remove before removing the stock line. Before you remove your lines, I'd recommend cleaning the connections with brake cleaner so you don't contaminate your fluid.

So you don't confuse which SS lines go where, the two front lines have the plastic "triangle," the rear lines do not. Test fit the SS lines before you remove the stock ones. Learn how the line will need to snake around the strut to make it fit without any sharp angles. Brake fluid will leak out when you remove your stock line, so you'll want to move quickly to install the SS line. Keep the cap on your MC to minimize leakage.

Another bit of advice is to use your oem washers/bolts when you install you SS lines. Many people have snapped the caliper bolt supplied in the Goodridge kit. When you're done, pump the brake a few times to pressurize the system, and top off your MC.
