    has anyone done this? aft mkt? or did you bend them yourself? i just pulled everything off because the car sat for years, when i looked in the master cylinder the fluid have melted down to you know what. since i had new calipers put on and im sure i dont want to contaminate them i thought best to pull the lines. is this best left to a brake shop? BTW fuel tank was pullled also so i yanked fuel lines.

    It is not that big a job - it just takes a bit of patience and crawling under the car a lot.

    Keep the joints to a minimum... and I'm not trying to be funny here well almost. :rolleyes:

    I've seen a few shadetree mechanic brakeline jobs with 3 lines coupled together from local parts store. Yes it works but the fewer connections the better for longevity and safety.
