This hose is well made, the threads look good and I haven't had any problems with the rails. Comes with copper washers for installation. Make sure you don't wipe the old hose. Once you have removed the plastic clips from the ABS wheel sensor, you can use the marks left on the old hose as a guide to place the plastic wheel sensor clips in the same location. Since 2000 the brake hoses are dated of manufacture, this helps you to know how old the hoses are that you currently have on your car, if you don't have a manufacture date on the old hoses I think it's possible it's worth it to change them. Don't squeeze or struggle with the hose, everything should fall into place.
