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.

Can you use Teflon tape on brake line fittings and can you use standard tappered pipe fittings for hydrolic brakes with Teflon tape?

You do not need tape on any flared fitting, brake or regular. The brake line and the fittings are different size and thread type than regular copper line and fittings. You can't mix them.

Much to my surprise, my Escape's (04) brake fasteners were all metric. I have both English and metric tools, used the English first cause it's a Ford and found they didn't fit. Went to metric and viola! I guess we can thank Mazda's influence for that.


How does the brake vacuum system work on a 1963 Chevy Impala If I push on the brake pedal I hear a hissing sound inside and the car stalls out?

If you have a power brake booster then there will be a vaccum line that runs to the brake booster on the firewall from the carburator. Check the booster for holes and broken fittings or buy a new booster. if no brake booster then brakes shouldn't affect vaccum
