Advice sought on replacing center rear brake hose 1985 Town Car
also have given up on steel lines. The nicopp lines are the way to go.
part of making decent flares is a good tool. Shitty ones don't hold the line properly and it ends up slipping through the block enough to cause problems.
Truth; I don't remember who it was on here that turned me on to the MasterTool hydraulic flaring tool. Probably the best purchase I've made; done brake and fuel lines with that tool with no hassle. Definitely worth the money.
I have a line straightener, eastwood turret flare tool, and their hand line bender. Can do a whole panther in no time. Was a good investment, since I've done about 10 whole vehicles for friends and fam.

A friend of mine has one (Mastercool). We flared some stainless steel line back in Nov/Dec timeframe and it was unbelievably quick and easy compared to wasting time with a cheap flare tool.

I tried to get it done myself but it became very obvious that the line going back from the front was in need of replacement. I don’t really have a place or time to do that so I just took it to my shop I go to and had them replace all the lines.
