Home and Auto brake line fitting - Page 4

Busted the line at the fitting on the rear passenger side today. I can't get the fitting off, it seems really soft on both ends. Box wrench and socket wanted to round the edges with the slightest amount of torque. Special tool of tricks?

Orielly didn't know the diameter of.the line either. My chiltons didn't have specs that I seen. I assumed its 3/16.

Don't worry, Jasonsauto will tell you that you have nothing to worry about.

to be honest, however, Jasonsauto did do an outstanding job on replacing the fetzer valve on my VW Rabbit. I was very happy with the service and price.

I'd recommend him

Every rear differential on a truck has brake lines that are longer to the right than to the left.

Every ****ing one.

Actually I have been to school, been lead tech, been ase master certified, own an actual repair facility, have techs that work for me, turn a pretty good amount of work out of my shop on a daily basis. I averaged right around eighteen tickets a day this last year, with an average of just over a hundred dollars a ticket.

How about you?

I just like how I stated that 1/16th of an inch will mess up the brake balance, which is a cold hard fact, and he's like "it won't do anything".

Ummmmm.

And there was a guy around here sometimes dinny blues that can vouch for just about everything I have said. He's been there multiple times.

Oh and if you see this Dinny I haven't seen you since I saw her but the Benz is ****ing nice

Let me ask you a question Mr. Ase Master Certified

Do you know why that is?

Also which tests did you choose and pass for your master cert? What did you score?

18 tickets a day at just over a hundred dollars a ticket is ****ing sad.

Yeah it won't. You are ****ing crazy, just because you read it somewhere doesn't make it true.

Not in length at least. Diameter will,

Answer my question smarty pants.

What happens when you cut a brake line on a vehicle 1/16th of an inch short of its length when it rolled off the showroom floor?

Yeah, it will. And you are not and have never been a certified master tech if you say so.

Unless you're like 85 and were around before Master Techs became uniform industry standards.

is this going to effect my fetzer valve warranty?
I'm getting a little concerned about your lack of detail.

And I own over a hundred thousand in hand tools, not counting my alignment machine, lifts, compressor etc.

Also there are ten other shops in town.
