Rear Brake Line Replacement Ford F250 Diesel 6.9L Double Flare

[1PossumJenkins]

Good job. Be honest. How many times did you try flaring the line until it came out right? I'm trying to flare a couple of ends on my '87 Olds, and I have to repeat the process 3 or 4 times before the flared end looks good.

@1PossumJenkins Thanks! I must admit, we did practice before the video.

[NerdForMIT]

you should of taken a file and filed down the end of the tube at 1:32

[edzgarage]

@NerdForMIT Thanks.

i had the exact same brake failure on my f150

[edzgarage]

@THEJBUDS It seems to be a common issue.

[callmenort]

whoa!!! first thing you did was use that tubing bender backwards. you need to familiarize yourself with the correct use of a handheld tubing bender!

[edzgarage]

@callmenort LOL You are the first one to catch that. We are much more "familiar" with it now.

[wooper007]

just wondered why you put union on first video and not replace whole line from proportion valve to t valve on rear? great video!

[edzgarage]

@wooper007 It was just easier to do it that way. Thanks for the comment!

wow! you did a very very nice job! that brake line was from advance auto parts right? what is it coated with?

[edzgarage]

@dnl5649 Yes, the line was from Advanced Auto. I don't know what the coating is though.

ED!! thanks for the videos, I learned alot real quick,, 1 question? how do u manage to stay soooo clean??lol..nm..thanks for the time and education..

[edzgarage]

Thanks for watching! Sometimes I wear gloves, sometimes I wash before each shoot to keep the camera, but a lot of the time if you take a good look at my helper... he does the dirty work lol.

I would recommend that use armor on the brake line to protect from road crap( rocks.ect.

Nice vids

[edzgarage]

Thanks for the comment!

[RC60618]

where did you buy the flaring set?

[edzgarage]

Autozone

[jimatmayo]

Thanks Edz, good video and info

[edzgarage]

Thanks for the comment!

The flaring tool you show in the beginning is the autozone one and is junk, I did 2 cars with it before the anvil got loose and started driving at an angle. Where did you get the good flaring tool you actually used in the video?

[edzgarage]

I bought the AZ tool only for the inserts to make the double flare. The good tool is an old one my Dad gave me. It's a much better made tool and works so much better.

[sm870621345]

Yeah I can tell, it's deffinetly an experienced tool. You should hit up Napa or Robbins? they might be Federated auto parts now, they stock just the flaring adapters for a couple bucks.

[edzgarage]

Thanks, I did go to Napa before AZ, but they were out of the adapters at the time I needed them.
