Sound like the main line, front to back. Trace the line up to the front and find a solid place in the line, cut it with a line cutter and get a brake flaring tool. PUT A FLARE NUT on the front section of the line and using aflarein tool flare the end of the line from the front you're going to save. Buy some steel line and run it to the back where the rubber flex hose is. Cut the old line tight to the old flare nut and get a six point socket to fit tightly over the nut. Use a line wrench to keep the flex hose from turning and loosen the old nut. Measure you new line, cut it to fit, take it off the truck and PUT NEW FLARE NUTS ON THE LINE FIRST then flare both ends & install. Bleed the brakes at the wheel cylinders and it should be fine. If you have to replace the whole line its the same proceedure except you remove the flare nut at the front end and then make a longer line. Premade lengths are also available and you use connectors to join them.
Kick flare are more shaped. They have more of a flare from the knee downwards, whereas the flare don't have such a defined line.

The brake lines are 3/16", the fittings are metric a 131 mm wrench to get them off. These lines use a bubble flare, so pre-flared lines are the way to go. Also there are fittings available that switch from the metric bubble flare to the more familiar 45 double flare, if you just need to replace a section of the line.
Bubble and double flare
Yes. BUT, only if the rest of the line is in good shape. Cut the line with a pipe cutter, buy the necessary fittings, put the fittings on each end of the line, and flare the line with your double flare kit. Remember, it has to be double flared to hold.
Flare nut wrenches are specially made to fit over steel brake and fuel ines to tighten the small nuts compressing the flared ends.
I just finished replacing the brake lines on an '89 Bonneville LE...it's not hard to do, but make sure you plan it well. You have two main options. You can cut the damaged section of the line out and splice in a new piece of line. Or, you can replace the entire line. Of course, if the end of the line is damaged, you have to at least replace that end. First of all, check the end of the line to see whether it uses standard SAE inverted 45 degree flare or the metric bubble flare. The '89 used bubble flare. You can either look at the end of the line itself(compare to lines found at a parts store, they should have both types), or if the nut is seized in the hose and you can't see it, ask to look at the hose connector...if it is built to accept an inverted flare, the center of the fitting, around the hole, will be pushed out. You will need to put the same ends on the line you make. Long pieces of bubble flare can be hard to find, so it may be worth buying a piece of inverted flare and connecting bubble flare sections. I definitely recommend buying Cunifer, or alloy, lines instead of steel. They bend more easily, and if you have to tweak minor details once you start installing, it's nearly impossible with traditional steel lines. If you can't find a piece long enough with bubble flare, you can purchase an inverted flare tool fairly cheap from Sears or a parts store. Cut a bubble end in half and flare the cut end with the tool. Then use an end to end connector (found at parts store) to connect the bubble end to your line. Measure the length of line you need. With a tubing bender (or by hand with Cunifer, though a tubing bender makes the bends more precise anyway, and they're cheap) bend it into approximately the same shape as the line you're replacing. You can only splice in straight sections with a decent amount of clearance, so be sure to plan your splices ahead of time if you are patching (and if you needed to splice bubble ends...the connectors do take up a bit of space) and use the flare tool on the lines under the car if you are patching. Put the line in the car, tighten any end to end connectors you used, tweak the lines if they don't fit the original layout properly, and voila, you're done. Connect the hoses and bleed the brakes! (yes, I know that is a whole extra procedure, but this is already a ridiculously long post and there are plenty of brake bleeding threads out there) Any time you flare a line, be SURE to put the fitting on first. If you don't, you'll have to cut off your new flare, put the fitting on, and then re-flare it. Oh, and this website: www.fedhillusa.com is really useful. They have pictures of fittings, explain the flare and fittings (with pics) and describe Cunifer lines compared to steel. Good luck...once you start, you'll see it's not that hard. It's just easy to realize you're missing a connector or fitting or something, so it can mean trips to the Auto store if you don't plan (or drop something, or whatever...)
Pretty easy, there are holes inside and in the back of the flare that match up with holes in the steel fender, mounting hardware is screws from inside the fender to plastic nuts inside the flare, but any nut and bolt that will fit through the hole will work, you may need washers on the flare side though.
I'm not sure they are from my experiences... ISO is a Bubble Flare - having a Convex (rounded) tip which mates with the concave part in the fitting -ISO brake line))ISO fitting SAE? is a double flare - having a concave tip which mates with a convex part in the fitting SAE brake line((SAE fitting I been working on my Buick which has ISO flares and a person from discount auto sold me double flare fitting for my ISO lines, i tried to put the on not knowing they were different, but they didn't fit very well. -ISO brake line)(SAE fitting I'm sure there might be a way to wrench the thing down on it to get one to bend. or maybe flare down a bubble flare so it becomes a Double flare? I'm not sure. -Brian
