bailouts.


but we wont go there.

 

Hmm, pretty sure the machine coolant at work is giving me contact dermatitis. That's annoying, guess I'll wear gloved more often, though I'd rather just do less CNC work and more manual instead.

 

Oreilles restroom hand cleaner gives me that

 

you should see what i look like after running brake lines... shit gets everywhere and my arms hands etc are all red.

 

I hate doing brake lines. It's easy enough to block it all off for a caliper but changing the line just always gets me covered in BS.

 

it pays good for me. but its a pain.. the hydraulic brake flaring tool is a godsend.. I run Nicop lines. shits nice to work with.

 

The NiCop is great stuff, so much more corrosion resistance and it bends easy

 

I replaced almost every coolant line in a 2013 Chevy Sonic over Christmas for a family friend's kid. She called it "hot cheeto" and the car had 65,000 miles. Thing is already at 3/4 of it's life.

 

nicop with stainless fittings. thats what i run on customer cars that need new lines.

 

according to the handbook it expired 15k ago

 

The brake lines on my 95 tacoma are still new looking

 

toyotas rarely blow brake lines. unless its early older than a 99 camry. toyotas brake line coatings hold up great

 

I don't like stainless fittings usually, some are good but the lower grade stuff you see most of the time just galls and ends up stuck even worse

 

na get the good shit. they hold up great i spray some fluid film down the tube and fitting to keep crud out of it too.

 

I'm glad I don't typically run into hardline issues. Only had to make two or three lines myself. They hold up well out here.

 

i run more fuel line than brake line.. but for that shit i just flare quick connects and run nylon line.. no more rust!
