New brakes, New problems!

[Dolly_Gti]

Just fitted some new brakes, nothing fancy just EBC stuff, the old ones were shagged. so theres that problem fixed

being eagle eyed i noticed both front brake pipes have bulges in them! O/S is small but N/S is very concerning. i fitted the rear 4 with braided middle of last year and i definatly couldnt undo the fronts for ****! any ideas as the brake pipes are absolutly mint.

stupid R reg shity car lol supposed to going to the Ring in it a week on friday to.

i had the same issue,, couldnt budge them with spanner untill i used a brake line spanner...all but a ring spanner with a gap just wide enough to slide over...give it loads of wd40 and then the finially cracked off

the 6 sided spanner is beging to round it off, got some "turbo" lube stuff at work, its for using on seized injecters and is a million times better than Wd40 so im going to soak it tonight and try and then keep trying. if no luck by start of next week im changing the brake pipe lol.

have you got a brake flairing kit?

yeh

but i want to avoid making a new pipe, flaring the one in situe is going to be a pig because its orignal steel pipe apposed to nice soft copper.
