pipe bending is pretty easy i have to do it every day where i work and even as a beginner it did not find it to dificult just take your time and when bending take into account the width of the pipe which can throw it out 6mm just for starters or whatever the pipe dia is | |

It's not a ball ache. You just buy a coil of copper line and work your way round the car. I just did my Corsa, got the majority of it done in about an hour :) | |

It's not hard, it's just time consuming, and you WILL make mistakes and end up wasting loads of pipe as you've made it too short, or bent it the wron way etc :lol: | |

The flaring tool is for the ends so that the joints don't leak. | |

Can you bend these without a flaring tool ? | |

Take the brake pipes off in one piece and find somewhere that makes them up, give them your old one as a template. Or you could buy a proper bending and flaring tool yourself and do it that way. | |

when i used to do the transit van ones it used to go to a few mid-point joiners before going to the master cylinder, but they are much longer vehicles. i would say it goes direct to the abs unit tbh. | |

Pain in the arse job, not hard, just takes ages and you'll fuck up the lengths a few times before getting it right. | |
