the people at Memphis are great. I needed the short brake shoes for one wheel and was thinking I would have to buy the long ones as well, but they sold me just what I needed. They're in my M715 favorites file from then on!

well, the CNF lines proved to be too soft to flare properly, so I switched to steel line. Got perfect flares and managed to bend the line close to the original. After a few leaking fittings were tightened up and a TON of air was purged from the system, the brakes work great. Now I need to...

gotcha. that's why i'm spending the coin to get a tubing straightener to do it right and neatly. the rest is ready to go.

I could probably use your magic as the bends running to the wheel cylinder are rather snug. I bought a tubing bender and flaring tool and am only waiting for the line to arrive. it is CNF line which I have learned bends very easily. still, I plan to go slowly and meticulously the whole time...

yes. I learned that too. and never, never, never, use compression fittings.

here is the bend near the right rear brake. really tight access thus the short fitting also probably why the fitting got so boogered up

No offense taken. Safety is premier with me too. I have been researching brakelines, flares, and much more. I only wondered how the single flare got into my truck in the first place. the double flare end looks pretty good but the single flare end looks a bit sketchy. I spent a bunch with JEGS on...

I am going to try to reuse the brake line I removed by cutting off the bad fitting and installing a union. I also plan to make a new stainless line just to learn how.

The line was far too clean to be original. a bunch of repairs and mods were made by previous owner and the lines and hoses all look very new and match the military materials and coatings. That's why I think the are NOS.

do you know if the fittings are AN or not?

so, should I cut and reflare or just replace entire line?

that's what I thought, which leaves the question why the NOS line had a single?

sorry, had to add pictures later.

Hi. I am in the process of working on my brakes and replacing the wheel cylinders, and have run into some issues with leaking brake fittings. I had a leak from the right rear fitting which had been buggered up by a previous owner. I removed the steel line to check the flares and discovered that...
