Front to rear brake line replacement - need advice

**bxfl** · 03-13-2010

I took my old line off and took it to the auto parts store. I had different fittings on both ends and a bubble flare! News to me :-D But my car used to be part of a rental fleet, so maybe that's why that happened?

Good luck & make sure you buy the coated kind - I did! No more rust for me I hope!

Parents acura... 01, near 200 K miles, rust on the body, non rusty brake lines. Coating + changing brake fluid helps quite a bit.
