Hole In Brake Line

I have a small hole in my passenger side brake line on my 86 IROC, I was wondering if anyone has experience changing these and how long it might take. I don't have car lift so this would be done while on ramps.

Took me about 15 minutes a side, and the lines i got didnt Fit the brackets right, I had to Go in dremel style...

Tools you need ? 7/16 wrench and Vice grips

I did mine with the wheels off, I dunno about doing it on ramps. Better off on jackstands.


And remmeber to bleed the brakes after !

man bort is making me look bad now, he's doing it in 30 minutes. i allowed time for coffee and a smoke. i don't drink coffee or smoke so i had to make a run to town for a cup and a pack. now i just hope bort doesn't say he allowed for his favorite vices too in his 30 minute time.

Ed,

It's probably a good thing, too, since I heard some of his "favorite vices" only take a few minutes. But I'm still faster. I think I hold the record, as a matter of fact.
