While Adam had the bed off his C-10 for chassis refinishing, he decided to overhaul his old brake lines. The original equipment brake lines were rusting from the inside and showing signs of fatigue from past work. The original flares were leaking as well, and the heads of the fittings were getting rounded. They definitely needed attention.
In this installment, Adam uses a combination of brake line cutting, bending, flaring tools to make safe, solid new lines. Since the truck is only driven to events, he opted for standard steel tubing. Watch as he makes kink-free bends with a handheld line bending tool. He also masters the art of the perfect flare using the most fool-proof tubing flaring kit on the market.
