Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for 2004 Honda Civic EX Coupe: 1/4 " Flared Brake Lines

Great value copper alloy magnetic brake line spool. *Tip for beginners: take your time, work slowly and methodically, make sure you making sure you place the fittings on the lines BEFORE you flare/crimp them and that they are pointing in the right direction If you are new to the process, it doesn't hurt to cut a short length of brake hose and practice using a brake hose Flare tool to make some flared ends BEFORE you cut the long piece of brake hose and try on your first try.There is a trick to flare the ends of brake hoses and not all tools are great for this task.If you are new to making brake hoses I suggest watching a few YouTube videos that detail the process first and taking 2 minutes to read the kit instructions before getting started - the brake line is easy to insert into a tensioning tool. wrong direction if you are not careful. When you have finished cutting the brake line to the desired length, cover the ends of the unused brake line spool with a small rubber cap to keep moisture out, especially if it is magnetic copper alloy as it can rust internally.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
