HELP NEEDED: Front Brake Hard Line?

[BamaDrewski]

Guys, I need you help. There is a hard line to the front caliper and it has all kinds of angles bent in it from the factory. When I was changing my pads, I noticed a leak from a bend in mine. I would like to replace it with something flexible. Has any done this? If so, where did you buy the part?

Your brakes must be quite soft then if fluid is leaking out.

Unlike the ribbing of the LM, no kidding here, just replace the old one with a new OEM hard line. You don't want a soft line there. $10. If you are on your preventative maintenance kick, replace the soft line further up with a stainless steel one.

Some (most?) auto parts stores sell hard brake line in various lengths, with the appropriate fittings already installed. You can bend them to the correct shape by hand, (if you have strong hands) and then install them. Then of course bleed the system.

You need a 10x1.0 threads inverted flare. I had an issue with mine over the weekend. I can't use my brand new stainless lines if you would like to buy them. I'm going another route and eliminating the hardlines going to the caliper from the frame rail.
