Also, you need to be very careful to keep pipe ends clean as if you get dirt in the pipes your braking system will become spongy. SAE flares tend to only be used on American cars, but slowly even these are being standardised on the improved DIN fitment. The usual method for preparing a pipe is to make the key bends in the new pipe (using the old pipe as a template) before you fit it into the car.

Now this has to be the worst pipe to replace as it appears to run under the fuel tank to the passenger side then to the ABS module.Brakes are one of your car's most important features and brake failure is one of the biggest safety risks you face on the road.

Finally seal the end of the brake pipe with a female brake pipe end cap and make sure you clean up any spilt brake fluid with rags immediately as it is very corrosive. One of the problems with working on brake pipes is that as soon as you disconnect them they start to drip brake fluid which makes the job messy and unpleasant.

The only down side to copper is that it work hardens (becomes brittle if bent repeatedly), but all you need to do to prevent this is make sure it's well supported by car's body clamps/clips so it cannot repeatedly flex. I use a Machine Mart branded version and although they are fairly crude, I can make perfect flares in 3/16" with only rare distortion. Using a flare spanner (do not use a standard spanner or you may round off the nut), unscrew the brake pipe you will be removing from the junction box. If you're replacing the brake hose as well then spray the brake hose ferrule at the caliper, but be careful to prevent any oil getting on your brake pads.I was going to replace the piece of the line from where its behind the rear wheel liner to the caliper.
