While changing out the VW Fastback shift bushing, I accidentally damaged one of the front brake hard lines. I have no idea how old this brake like is, or was, but it began to leak. I believe this is the only original hard brake like from when I first got this car. I attempted to tighten the line to no avail, in fact it was so rusted I had to cut it just to remove it. I crimped/flared some bubble ends on some new stainless steel brake lines. Reinstalled the new brake lines on Ruby, the 1968 Fastback and bled the brakes... then got called to work! ⚫ Products Demonstrated in this Video ⚫ Brake Line Flaring Tool ▶ https://amzn.to/3jCSbPb Stainless Line ▶ https://amzn.to/2ybo0Ht Stainless Fittings ▶ https://amzn.to/2TI6WBT Stainless Brake Line Clips ▶ https://amzn.to/2Ulv42t Copper/Nickel Line ▶ https://amzn.to/2y26VR7 Mighty Vac Sucky-Sucky Tool ▶ https://amzn.to/2H2xwit ⚫ More Popular DuckmanCycles Videos ⚫ Remove Type 3 Engine ▶    • …...more
