Autoparts stores sell lines, you have to bent them......(with tubing bender!!!)
you also need a tubing bender, flare kit, tubing cutter......
and fittings

Remove your old line and take to the auto parts store. Have them match up the thread size, fitting type and approximate length you will need. They are bendable by hand. A tubing bender is not required. If your replacing a very long line, you would need a flaring tool, fittings, spool of hard line, etc. Which line are you replacing?

Are you talking about the rubber lines from the fender to caliper or hard lines?

All parts stores, including your local NAPA should carry them. I wonder if there is a difference in SAE or Metric depending on where the car was made.

Metric double-flare tools may be hard to find. SAE ones are cheap all over. And you can borrow them on free loaner tool programs in some parts stores.

Here is a DIY on double flare:

Another one is go to the dealer and order a specific one. May come as pre-bent. $$$

i bought mine prebent from the dealer. price wastnt too bad - well worth saving the headaches of bending it myself and possibly kinking a line.

thnaks for all the help..im going to go ahead and check out the auto parts store.

i actually found out exactly what i need....i need the steel lines and the part where the steel connects to the rubber hose i need that part...all the steel parts are rusted in the back even the metal part that looks like a spring...(sorry dont know the names of the parts)

[JohnGD]

There usually is a curved spring clip that hold the rubber hose to a piece of welded bracket. Is this what you're talking about? Most of the time they can be reused.

If you need to replace all lines then check with your local dealer on price. It'll save you time bending all the lines.

I'd highly recommend that you get a torque wrench and a metric/sae flare crowfoot. This way you can properly torque down the flare nuts without stripping the soft metal.
