Brake line leaking . 2002 chev suburban LT

That is because they did not pay attention or were not mechanically inclined. I have the Motive bleeder, recommended to me by Rocket Man, and it works great. It's always easier to blame the tool than the operator.

Glad it worked out for you Ron.

Replacing old brake steel lines . are you guys buying precut Ni-copper set $87 or doing one piece at time at local auto stores . I'm scratching my head if I just buy full set because once start looking I'm sure there be other steel line rusted out. It's kinda like why go thru all the work and not replace anything looks crusty. Person be just doing bleeding testing it all over again and again..

I always bought coils of tube stock and then bent and flared my own.

Most guys just replace them all at one time, they buy the whole set. There’s stainless steel sets too. You need to watch YouTube videos first if you want to do this, there’s guys who have figured out exactly how to snake them through since they’re installed before a lot of the other parts at the factory.

Like Woodblocker55 said above "... if one line rusts out there is another not too far behind it." I have a 1996 2-door Tahoe and had that very experience. About 10 years ago I replaced all of my brake lines after buying a coil of tube and fittings then spending a lot of time bending new ones. It came out great but it is time to do it again since one rusted out. This time I bought the entire brake line set in stainless from In-Line Tube in Michigan. All lines pre-bent. Reasonable price and huge time savings too. About two years ago I went to In-Line Tube for new stainless transmission cooler lines on the same vehicle with 4L-60E trans. The lines fit perfectly and they still look brand new.
I am not in any way affiliated with In-Line Tube. They make a great product at a reasonable price. Just passing it along to maybe help other folks.

Rocket Man, you should be getting a finder's fee from Amazon. You just sold me on this Motive.

You’ll wish you’d bought one years ago. Super great product. I never used to flush my brakes, now I do. I’ve replaced all 4 calipers on both my trucks twice, upgrades until I finally said ok, Wilwoods on both. And every time it was super easy to completely change all the fluid.

I bought the kit and 2 additional adapters for my other vehicles.

Compare prices ; not all kits cost the same nor do the adapters. I saved $10.
