Stainless Braied Brake lines question
 

I picked up a set for the car. I'm going to do all four, but I'm going to start with the rear only, then the front later (maybe a few weeks)

Is it safe to do that?

why wouldn't it be? its not like it is drastically going to change the flow characteristics of the fluid, long as you bleed em good afterwards, you'll be fine

ttop is right, but if you have all of them already why not do it all at once?

Sounds pretty cool to do actually.

changing brake lines is far from "cool" certainly NOT the most fun job in the world

Oh I know I've had to change one once on this guys truck. Had to bend the line myself. No fun at all. But I like redogs idea.

Because most of the braking is done by the front discs I'd be doing them first if not all at once. You probably will feel a difference and may need to get used to lighter pedal pressing.... Enjoy!

I bought the lines from Amazon. They had them for $82.85 plus free super saver shipping.

They were expected to ship Feb 4 to Feb 10, however I got them TODAY :yahoo:

I didn't take them out of the package, but I noticed that the rears are female/female and the front are female/banjo. I thought there were all female/banjo. I never really looked at the rear caliper lines

got a link for anyone else who wants to partake in that deal?? or is that about the standard price for them? I have thought about it, but thought it would cost way more...

They all should be female/banjo. Sounds like you got a set of lines for a J-Body.

The package says "Sunfire, Cavalier, Alero"

Could I just use a brass union fitting?

what brand do you get?
I was thinking about getting these:http://cgi.ebay.ca/99-04-GRAND-AM-GT...item3cb462d4a5
Sorry to thread jack by the way, just want to know what is the popular choice for Aleros

I agree.

Yeah but I need rear brakes now! and the Fronts are due soon, but I'm holding off as long as I can, or until before ASS :D (but they won't last that long anyway)

The hose you have is with two female 10mm fittings, the Alero has a 3/8-24 thread on the line and a 10mm banjo. You could adapt it, but it will just end up being a mess and not cost effective.

Meh....shit :(

Should I just return these and get the Goodridge ones?

EDIT::I'll probably just return these. There's no point in keeping them if they are not going to work, or cost more to adapt them to work. I'm a little pissed that they are listed as fitting an "N" body. they probably fit an N with rear drums

I have a set of Goodridge one's on my car and like them a lot. You won't get a huge difference out of them but you will notice a difference in stopping power. I replaced all of mine at the first shot. It was worth the money spent once it was all done.
