so if you ever have a steel brake line that is rusty and starts to leak like mine did yesterday don't be afraid they're really not all that bad uh-huh why do I have the feeling that now I said that this is going to be the worst steel brake line ever um this one is down here it's kind of hard to get the camera down there but I'm sure you can see which one it is the rusty one there they are that was lame this threads out and then the brake lines free alright so there's a bunch of these to take off then loosen this nut here and then your brake lines free so anyway take the brake line out and bring it to the auto parts store so that you can match up the ends and the length and then you just bend it and put it back in hey how's it going I'm gonna show you how to make your own brake line so I went to Autozone try to buy the brake line they don't have it with the right ends so instead I bought a tool a double flaring tool that's the case it comes in and I bought a 25 foot it spool of 3/16 brake line I took the brake line the old one and I bent a new one that looks roughly the same it has a magnet stuck to it um so I'm in a really bad mood right now um but I wanted to make this video anyway so sorry if my tone is like do this do this I just wanted to show this before I got it done because I think it's worthwhile but I don't want to be in a better mood so deal with it anyway this is life you know I'm a real person out here I'm not some paid actor so um I'm in a bad mood and that's why it goes anyway so this is the flaring tool here the first step is to take well first of all the make the line then cut it off at the right length using this this is a pipe cutter you tighten it down to it like somewhat tight spin it around once turn the handle an eighth of a turn spin it around turn it and either turn spin on just keep doing that till the tank falls off insert the tubing into the cutter and I need to find a better angle so you can see this now that I have a better angle what you do is you take your tubing there's a little piece here with each different sized tubing there's a different adapter and you put the adapter in the end and then you push the pipe flush against the tool and what you're left with is the pipe sticking up the thickness of this tool so what I'm going to do first is get this close and then you can check it like this oh man look at that perfect so you want it sticking out the thickness of this tool and then you crank it down and the first time I did this I didn't crank it enough and the pipe slid in the tool so make sure you tighten it well enough what well enough is I don't know I'm gonna put this in so it doesn't collapse the pipe there that's nice and tight then you take your anvil so this looks like make sure this is backed out enough flip it on this way then turn it bring it up to your you can't really see that but bring it up to your spot crank it down let me show you and then just tighten this thing down there hold up there when you're done with that take the anvil off just set it down there for now when you pull this piece off or out rather and what it's done is pushed most of the pipe in that little recess then you take your handle you can see that it pushes the pipe in that little recess and gets it ready then you take your handle up here crank it on then you spin the anvil on and it flares the inside and this one actually looks much better than the other side so I think I may redo the other side then take the anvil off loosen the thing there one flared and you know the bummer part about that is that I got excited get the video never put my fitting on so I get to do that one again so let me show you how to having a good day the way you can't play open your cutter so go over the pipe and I'm gonna try and leave as much pipe as I can so I'll go all the way up to the end probably line up your mark tighten the cutter when it's tight it won't slide and you spin it around tighten it spin it around tighten it around tighten it and the idea here is not to crank it as hard as you can but rather to spin it and if you keep spinning it without turning it you'll feel that it gets easier at a certain point and then you need to tighten the wheel so and this works for pretty much any kind of pipe rather copper pipe if you wouldn't want to do this on well maybe it does work for any kind of pipe if you have the right cutter but this one's primarily for copper and steel ones who knows maybe it cuts other stuff but anyway eventually cuts it off point so now we get to do that all over again really really I'm about ready to do this whole thing over again still without putting the darn fitting on yeah so I don't know this is just a me thing but if you're doing this don't forget you're fitting the flared fitting hopefully that works anyway so yeah flare tool break line way better that way I have tons of brake line here and I can just use it
