Not much to it. You will need a tube bender, flaring tool for
double bubble flare ends, brake line, the best you can buy, and new male

install it, one by one

if there were better resources.
I have a leak in a line that goes from the left rear to the rear connector.
I'm finding rust in other parts of the system and I'm thinking of replacing
with all new lines.<<<<<
