So I have a leak in my brake system...

Anyone know a good place to get lines flared in portland? I had mine done at oil filter serviecs but they did a pretty bad job and I have leaks.

If you have the receipt call them up , tell them what's going on and take it back.

They'll likely work with you if they're a repuatable business.

I could understand why you wouldn't want to though :hmm:

 

or.. buy a metric or standard (I'm not sure if there is a cross-over for the year) flare kit , some brake line , nuts , and do it yourself :)

Just be easy when flaring on the tools .. takes a couple times to get a feel :)

It will cost no more to buy a kit and do yourself. Plus when you're done you still have the kit and the new knowledge.

 

Brake lines come is pre made lengths. Just measure with a piece of string and get one the same or next up size. Use a baseball bat to make the bends. You can do this.

problem is each end of that particular tube is different as I couldn't find a T junction that would allow me to keep all my flares the same throughout. It needs to be double flare on the soft line side and bubble flare on the T junction side.

Get a bubble flair and cut one end off and double flair it. BAM!!!

The shoppe reflared and pressure tested for free for me, now I just need to finish bleeding the lines.
