Nasty job, but massively easier if you have access to a ramp!

 

Only gotta do it once though, if that's any consolation.

 

It's worth noting that many MOT places will fail a brake line on a slight bit of surface corrosion. I usually sand back any rusty bits and waxoyl it before taking it in. Always passes :D

I know how you feel mate! I'm doing mine tomorrow! :clap: They were an advisory on the last MOT so thought I'd get them done before I finally lay the car up for the winter....

had all mine done the other week while getting all the calipers etc replaced. I ended up paying someone else to do it.

 

I bought a flaring tool (nice one) but never used it, was tempted to sell it on if it would be any use to anyone
