  Q: How to Flar Steel Brake Lines?

  A: Get the recommended tubing and correct fitting nuts. Cut tubing to length, ensuring fittings are pre-installed. Deburr and chamfer the pipe's edges. Clean the pipe and flaring tool. Secure the flaring tool in a vise. Choose the right collet and mandrel. Slide the clamping nut over the brake line into the collet. Tighten the clamping nut, then tighten the forcing screw. Disassemble the clamping nut and collet. Finally, bend the line for at least 0.75 in. (19mm) clearance from moving parts.

  Q: What is a Brake Hose and brake line on Buick Century and Regal?

  A: Brake hoses are rubber covered flex hoses designed to transmit brake pressure from the metal tubes running along the frame to the calipers in front and wheel cylinders in the rear. To remove the hose, raise and support the vehicle, remove the through-bolt that fastens the hose to the caliper, remove any clips retaining the connection at the frame, and unscrew the flare fitting located on the pipe running along the frame. To install, replace the old hose with a new one, using new washers, then tighten the connection at the caliper, install any retaining clips or mounting brackets back into position, and lower the vehicle, then bleed the brake system.
