Hey, Garret

<snip> Has anyone had to replace their rear
brake lines? If so, how much of a pain is it? Also, did you make/bend your
own brake line or were you able to find one premade.<snip>

I just did em on my daughter's 86 LeSabre. NAPA sold me the wrong size, so I
got em at AZ. I hadda bend em by hand.
If you bend reeaaaaaalllllly slowwwllllllllllly, you won't kink them. With
the fittings on the ends, a spring-type tubing bender is pretty much
worthless. If you can find a brake shop, they should do it for cheap...
If you can't a die-type tubing bender will do ya right. I used teflon tape
in the fittings with pretty good results...
