I was swapping out my brake hoses at all 4 wheels, and when I got to the last one, the nut on the hard line to the wheel was frozen and stripped out. Now I have to wait until I can get a new one.
Does anyone know if someone makes them with all the bends, or and I going ot have to make do with a universal, and put all the bends in myself? Also, does anyone know any good tricks for making the bends? I am already thinking about doing it in my kids sandbox...

Wolfsburgwest.com sells the lines precut to the correct length for each wheel but you bend them yourself. There is a tool they sell (or any tools place sells) for bending tubing so that you don't kink it.

I have the new piece of line, ends and all. I have just finished bending it to match the other. Now I get to go crawl around on the driveway and put it in. It is supposed to rain tomorrow, and I do not want to leave it open.

Anyone want to help bleed brakes in Fullerton?

:oops: Silly me :oops:
It seems that the smallest wrench I have is a 8mm. Does anyone recall the correct size of the wrench to use for bleeding the brakes? 7mm, or 6mm?

Thanks,
Matt
