Sorry that the quality of this video isn't the best. If it's your first time on my channel, please check out my newer videos as they are better quality than this. I may redo this video when i have time.

Boy, I'm glad I decided to watch this one because I just got done watching one using compression fittings. Whew. I'll take the extra step. Thanks.

[billymartin]

Thank you for being so conscientious and sharing your feeling about doing the job correctly for your safety's sake, Salem.

[brettkilian]

You just saved me from having to take apart half my engine bay to replace a brake like that I stripped a bolt off and had to cut the brake line. Thank you

[chhengchhay]

Thank you so so much for being kind of you sharing your experience and videos to all of us ❤😊

[paulalaguire]

Thank you for doing this video. I just called a part store and that is what the guy told me to get to fix my break line

[longfade]

Nice video. Diagnosed a recent (total) brake failure on my old Volvo as being a leak at line feeding the front DS caliper. This is a big help. Thanks man. 👍👍👍👍

[tomtoms]

Great video Salem. I loved how you explained the whole compression vs. flare attachment system. Especially the blow off vs. leak with the compression fitting system and front vs. rear brake. I'm doing flares for sure.

Thankyou Salem for your informational content! I am repairing it on the rear end of my 2000 Chevy tracker that is rusted but am trying to find a budget helpful way of repairing just a bit of it where it is rusted
Thanks again. Love the content Love the steel brake lines too ! Lol have a nice day

[CarlRMauri]

Thanks, SALEM!! really good video and thank you so much for the safety presentation!!

I like the example of compression fittings, although kind of long. I would recommend a video showing why not to use compression fittings on brake lines under 1, 000-4, 000 lbs of pressure. Start the engine with fittings in place and let power assist build up pressure and then slam on brake pedal to show force not holding pieces together.Thanks for the whole explanation.

I'm glad you covered the compression fitting bit right away. All good points!

I'm a fan of the nickel copper line, as it is much more resistant to corrosion and is easier to work with. You definitely pay for that, though! If I ever relocate my ABS pump on the GTO, I'll be doing a full NiCu line conversion.

Thanks for the info! I have a 2003 GP with the 3800, much like your car. Always warms my heart to see someone taking care of one these cars. Great vehicles.

I have yet to find a compression fitting that I could take off the lie and slip the ferrule off. That said, I always thought that brakes needed to be flared which sucks because now I need to go get a small flaring tool…lol

[kevinlewis]

I own a flare tool but I have never I repeat while knocking on wood never have had a compression fitting fail and I have used about 20 and I usually torque them hard enough that you can not pull the copper ring off once installed i usually only use the copper ring over the old line after cleaning it well and connect it to the new factory flaired line

Been using compression lines for years without a problem. Many people say compression is better.

[michaelneal]

It's been a while since I worked on break the lines. I'm 60 years old and I've done quite a few. Just had to get brushed up on how to do it. The same way.Same old song song a good one

[andrewoliver]

This video came just in time. As I had my brakes give out on the freeway last night 😱😱

[travispratt]

My state (maine) specifically says you need a double flange on any brake line -
“This safety tubing must be double-lap flared at the ends in order to produce a strong leakproofjoint.”

Chris fix had some rough early videos too. Thanks for the information.
