When replacing metal brake lines, use prefabricated brake lines with flared tube ends and installed fittings. These lines can be bent to the proper shapes using a tubing bender. Make sure the new line is well supported in brackets and has sufficient clearance from moving or hot components. Tighten the fittings securely.
