Well i found out today i kinked up a brake line installing my rebuilt motor,,,What would be the qquickest way to repair this....Would cutting out the bad part and use compression fittings and a new peice of brake tubing work..

 

What size brake line is used on a 73 olds 98

 

Don't use compression fittings with "olives" as they aren't for high pressure and reliability. The best would be to measure the line you kinked, and buy a pre-made replacement from NAPA or Carquest. They are cheap and come with flare fittings and nuts already done for you. It is a hassle to cut the liine and make your own flare fittings even if you already have the double lap flaring tool.

 

I have done it and it has to be a double flare. A new line is way better since they tend to get old and rust. Use a tubing bender and don't try to make any sharp bends.

 

so car quest makes pre made replacements,,,,i didnt know that
