How I make up brake lines and install them. Did not bleed brakes on this video because most people are too impatient to sit through a long video.

My hat's off to you. I tried to make a simple fuel line. I gave up and used hose. I'm glad I live in the southern US where there isn't salt on the road. Old cars here deteriorate from the heat and UV of the sun - on top. The chassis are all fine. (sometimes well oiled, LOL) The brake lines on my 22 year old car look brand new.
I would like to be in a warmer area, I really dislike the winters here.
I have to replace fuel lines on my pickup, really looking forward to that.
You can get 3/8" line in this alloy too. www.amazon.com/Roll-Copper-Nickel-Fuel-Transmission/dp/B015YGREXU/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3V6HJBTRKBENU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.88fwWQ3mtEJcZSP5lYVjfhrI2u2DYSoPuKILtydWW31UovTTmd1Igm7p8xWnzIDgttGGbDMieWMYfu8zY6er7BBwnT4dDfDC5QHlsyOV3tAqfmUjJ2KZrQNvvz99OsGyi-jQOH0IkLsi6Z_Nj7TTIW2m6-QfVrm_lQccVTWA4_X6okehjD0gSkWJIDQ66Uso0su0T7iHaFFHnVaHhAjUR-rrtB2CmJL2WIR9pJIw7d8._xL7Oo58-KFjF2AvyLAdPbbT_BqiLeGcTLJhrrFEeks&dib_tag=se&keywords=3%2F8+inch+copper+nickel+alloy+fuel+line&qid=1723083481&sprefix=3%2F8+inch+copper+ni%2Caps%2C163&sr=8-1
@@57bagre Yes, its' pretty popular around here with the millions of tons of salt brine they use!
I always wondered how they hold the frame down!
They did the same thing on my mobile home.
That line looked factory. Nice job!
Thank you sir.
Looks like that winder for the anchors takes a man to drive it.
It does look like it could run away with you.
Nice job gordan
Thank you sir.
Good job. The only tim3e I ever did this is on an old pickup I had...short line....maybe 4' or something. SO I bent it by hand, and it had flared ends already. It worked great.
I did it that way for years and got tired of paying that much for pre-made steel lines that will rust again and are never the right length.
Lookin' good! I always hated having to do any work laying on gravel and dirt. I think the only thing better than this would be to work inside.
Just trying to get the most benefit for the least property tax.
Just wandering why you didn't pour all the to the base of the structure?
Great detail, thanks for sharing. Will let you know how I get on. 😀
Great Vid man. helped me out. all done now it got dark out when I doing all this so I still have to put all that plastic back on but I rode around and it;s all good. Thanks
LOL people. i just stopped this right in the middle of it al and went and changed out my front brakes. my new ones did not have the grooves either and they were not the OEM honda ones is why. i picked EBC sinistered when I got these and it was because they were pretty expensive for regular people that have 100 dollar bills they can shed out, LOl i got these expensive ones for 24 dollars, both sides. and I got the rear for 9 bucks. i could have got some cheapo chinese ones but i just held ot till I found someone that was selling the better ones made in the USA / any who, just took that bike for a RIPP around the neighborhood , it;s after 10:30 now so I really laid into it , Bajajaja you would not believe what a GL1500 sounds like with open pipes. it is way way way More fun! Honda OEM really are the best brakes for the bike, REAL ones not teh dumb ones. The REAL Honda Brake pads are made by AKEBONO - they are awesome for cars and bikes. However, I think akebono had some agreement with honda about saying that out loud in ads or some shit. i cant find a real on a akebono pad anywhere . anyway, I barely know what i am doing on these brakes, just followed this video and changed them out and did several tests and my brakes are AWSOME! not really but they are as AWESOME as a gold wing brake can get. You know what i mean.
Always good to see you!
Thank you sir
3/8 Allen socket but what size??
Thanks for the video I have the same problem now on mine
Thank you for commenting.
Step 1. Buy some WD-40
I don't miss fighting the rust on my vehicles when I lived in Illinois. Thanks for the video!
Yes, cold winters and always very humid.
Thank you very much
Hi Gordon brilliant video I love your new garage
Thank you sir.
Yikes those brakes were awful they look good now, That shade is an awesome thing.
Yes the shade really makes a difference but the rain still gets in because of the height until I bring the sides down about half way to cut back on that.
Gettin' things done, that's always a good feeling. The rooftop looks great. I think I recall hearing you mention needing something like that. Always fun and educational, which I like. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching buddy!
@@57bagre 👍
You handyman is tired😢
Aee they, recaps😮
Thanks for update staying busy as ever looks like..wonder how much wind carport is rated for or if they even metioned it..thanks take care
The wind was rated at way more than we will ever get unless a tornado grabs it with it's tail directly, I forgot what the numbers were but like 140 mph or something which I doubt it could handle.
That's a nice carport I have been looking into one of those also for my backyard but there are no deals right now. Are you going to enclose it or leave it open?
I'll bring down the sides part way to block the early morning sun and cut down on the rain coming in. I'm scared to close it all the way because of taxes, I'm already paying over $4500
@@57bagre 4500 for all three of your houses or 4500 for just that one?
That's all 3 I think the 1 is around 2000 before this add on
Hi Gordon, thanks for the update. I've switched over to using copper coated brake lines when I have to replace them now. They don't rust out like the metal lines and they're alot easier to bend. maybe worth looking into for your truck. Let me know what you think. have a good one.
the brake line I use comes in 25 ft. rolls and is made of copper nickel alloy.
@@57bagre Yep, thats the same stuff. Very nice.
$4500 for property taxes? That seems quite high for what Structures I see on your property, Does this include both sides of the street, Was it reassessed after you put the mobile trailer and poured the pad? Or did they play Mr. Sneaky man and just hit you with an reassessed bill without even talking to you about it? Is that with Senior Discount? Everything looks real good over there, Cheers from up North here County gotta always got to take advantage of people all the time.

That’s a f**cking FORD RANGER❤😂
God bless
Thank you for sharing 👍🏼
Gorden, really enjoy your channel hope you continue to share your projects
Thank you Richard
Truck tires go on and off the inside of the rim, car and pickup rims come off and on the outside of the rim
The short answer is NO.
Gordon can I ask your opinion; so mine is leaking but only from that back bottom bolt. Do you think it’s the pump or just the seal.. This water pump is only about two and half years old. It was replaced when I had my engine rebuilt.
My fan just came.on thw other day for mo reason wouldn't shut off till.i got to the yard o thought it was the solenoid fan cluth
In China 🇨🇳 you will get it for $20 dollars even less 😂😂😂

Where can I get the tool to align the clutch kit?
Love your updates as always. Thank you
Thank you I’ll try it
Thank you
The fan belt trick was 🔥
No water Gordon! That weld is brittle now it’s probably going to fracture under load
Thank you so much, I worked the whole day on bleeding the clutch but this one finally worked 💪 👍 Honda Magna
