Brake line tips

[Big Al]

Hey so I got extended brake lines the other day and I'm going to do the change over myself. So has anyone got any tips and tricks I should know or do's and dont's.
Iv got a basic idea like bleeding and no air bubbles but just want to make sure that's really it.

Do yourself a major favour and get proper brake line tools. Like clamps and flare spanners.

Why do u say that?

When I did some years ago, I just used some locking pliers and lots of brake fluid. Bled the crap out of them. Didn't have any probs.

I hate bleeding brakes/clutches and so on. I'm pretty sure there's a tool you can get that uses pressure to bleed 'em for you these days.

But as I said, I did mine manually and had no probs.
