caliper removal & brake line question.

so I need to get my caliper off so I can install a new one because of a frozen piston. Where can I find the brake line that goes from the flexible line to the caliper? I am asking as I think I might destroy the current one getting it off. Also, is it ok to reuse the flare nut that goes into the caliper? That's if I can get it off in one peice. It's pretty corroded.

Thanks!!

 

You might be able to save the flare nut with PB blaster.

 

Use a brake line wrench on the flare nut, rather than an open end wrench.

 

there are a bunch of guys on here changing to SS lines, They may have stockers they would part with.

you can always replace them with stainless braided lines.

and x2 or a flare nut wrench, you can round them off in no time with an open ended wrench

Yeah, I bet that turns out to be a dealer only part. Even still - replacement cost on that bad boy shouldn't oughta be too bad.

 

Yes it's the hard line from the caliper to the rubber line. I would rather have it on hand in case I snap off or round off the old one. Does anyone know if you need new washers where the flare nuts connect?

Thanks

 

I can't remember for sure, but I don't *think* there's a washer in there at all?

 

Thanks. Just want to be prepared when the new caliper arrives.
