Instructions for replacing front brake lines

[jdbwrx]

I am assuming this is not a difficult job, but I wanted to double check.

I have a set of longer front brake lines I want to install. Does anyone have a walk-through, tips, tricks, etc?

I helped my friend do his rears, and it was easy as we could just clamp off the front lines. Everyone said to keep the cyclinder full, as it is a pain in the a**to have to bleed the master cyclinder.

Any help would be appreciated.

1.Clamp the old line with vice grips.
2.Loosen and remove banjo bolt from caliper.
3.Insert banjo bolt through new line end. (be sure to use new crush washers on either side of line end)
4.Tighten banjo bolt.(careful, it's not the strongest bolt)
5.Remove old line from hard line.
6.Tighten new line fitting to hard line, being sure line isn't twisted.
7.Secure new line to shock absorber with zip tie, to prevent tire contact.
8.Repeat steps 1-7 on opposite side of vehicle.
9.Check brake fluid level in master cylinder.
10.Bleed brakes beginning with passenger side, checking fluid level in master cylinder frequently.
