I had fun yesterday,replace the brake line on coming from the front to the rear of the driver's side frame in my GMC Sierra.Was going to move it Friday night and pushed on the brake pedal,no brakes.Luckily my son was there and said there was a puddle on the floor.Looked,this brake line blew.Did get two 1/4 fittings and a 50 foot roll of 1/4 brake line at the auto parts store including a new tool.Seen they had the Mastercool hydraulic flaring tool kit in stock,Said I will take one of those too.I pulled the old brake line out after cutting it,two compression fittings and wanted to take this person's tools away.Good thing was my son was there to help too and this new tool came in handy which I love now.Perfect flares everytime.Did get it done and have brakes now.

Okay,... so a pic of the shiny new line, properly bent and fitted would do our hearts good as well. :)
