Review on πŸš™ Enhanced Full Brake Line Set for 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ by Omix-Ada by Peter Bates

Revainrating 3 out of 5

but so far so good. the only reason I only give it a 3.

I've only been on LiveJournal for a few weeks so can't comment on durability but so far so good. The only reason I only give it 3 stars is that the installation took a lot longer than it should have due to size differences in the wrenches needed to remove and reinstall the replacement. This may sound petty and to be honest the replacement required a larger wrench which seems to indicate the fittings are stronger than the original (assuming what I replaced was the original) but 100 -times easier to remove the existing old rusty brake lines by cutting them off at the fitting and then removing the fitting. Due to the fact that I have a bit of OCD and since nothing is labeled in the new set (some will say it's obvious which is which, but I'd advise withholding judgment until they're in front of you), have I decided to use your flare keys. to narrow down the questions. When nothing fit the size of the wrench I got nervous and decided to wait to cut the lines fearing the new lines would be wrong. In short, the fittings had the correct threads, although the key sizes were different. Had I known this could be the case I would have saved a lot of time by cutting the lines before removing the fittings.

Pros
  • Useful beyond its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are flaws
