Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

New DIY: Replaced my brake lines with stainless steel. While I had the calipers off to paint them I went ahead and did this upgrade, but split the DIY into two videos.

Oh, Man. I imagine your car went through some weather over the miles. I used PB Blaster and mine came off like a breeze. Further I imagine you must have been white-knuckling it... because those lines can be very delicate and one mis-step...
Again, great vid! And, again, I REALLY like how you don't abbreviate by editing out all the real challenges. Your delivery is very measured... and you are very patient.
What's next on your DIY roster? I'm looking forward to it!
Great video as always.
I put on SS lines last year and did a full fluid flush at the same time. Having the proper flare nut wrenches and using extreme care and control is so important. As it is I ended up rounding one of the hard line nuts but it tightened enough. I bought a replacement hard line and I will install it when I do my next brake fluid flush.
Keep up the great videos. Yours are some of the best!
Thanks man! I left two of them in white vinegar overnight, PB Blaster, heat, repeat, vice grips, and they are still together. Finally had to order two new ones with the brackets. Ugh. They come tomorrow, so the car is still on the lift.
After that I'll flush the brake fluid of course, and get that posted
