Big Sale Is On - UPDATED 03-26-26

The Big Sale is on but not like originally planned, it is a by appointment type of thing now. Be sure to call before you come to make sure the day isn't already full with peeps scheduled to come in, and make sure what you want is still available.

Had a rubber brake line weeping on my new to me truck and decided to replace it today..... what a fiasco. The line in question was the flex line to the rear wheels. When removing said line all of the steel lines attached to it twisted off creating a real mess. 25' of brake line and 6 fittings later all is good with the exception of my back and knees. What a pain. The only thing that made the job easier was the Cal-Van inline double flaring tool, it really works!

Been there done that and it was metric to boot. I will get a double flaring tool if I do another one. My single flare repair is still holding up.

The tool is the only way to go. Did you buy a roll of line and make your own?

Yes, I use bulk line and try to reuse the fittings, in this case all but the one on the ABS block, were trashed.
