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.

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.

To replace the brake line on a 2003 Kia Rio, start by safely lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel to access the brake line. Detach the old brake line by loosening the fittings at both ends using a flare wrench, and then remove any clips or brackets holding it in place. Install the new brake line by tightening the fittings securely and ensuring it follows the same routing as the old line. Finally, bleed the brake system to remove any air and check for leaks before reassembling everything.
On a 1994 Chevy Corsica, fittings for various systems can be found in several locations. The fuel line fittings are typically located along the fuel rail near the engine, while the brake line fittings are found near the master cylinder and along the brake lines. Additionally, if you're referring to AC fittings, they are usually located on the AC compressor and the accumulator. For specific components, it's best to consult a repair manual or diagrams for detailed locations.
No, it is generally not legal to use compression fittings in auto brake lines. Most automotive standards and regulations require the use of specific fittings and materials to ensure the integrity and safety of the braking system. Compression fittings can create weak points and may not withstand the high pressures typical in brake lines, leading to potential failures. Always consult local regulations and manufacturer guidelines for compliant brake line repairs.
The brake lines are not attached to the booster. They are attached to the master cylinder. To remove them, use an opened end wrench on the fittings located where the lines meet the master cylinder and slowly turn counter clockwise. BE CAREFUL NOT TO STRIP THE FITTINGS THEY ARE MADE OF BRASS AND ARE VERY SOFT!
There is no safe way to repair a broken or leaking brake line. The line or tubing that is leaking must be replaced or a new piece of tube, spliced into the line with fittings, to replace the leaking area.
just unscrew it at the fittings and take it off and take it to the parts store with you and get another line at the parts store and bend and reinstall.
To replace the brake lines on a 1996 Ford F150, first, safely lift and secure the vehicle on jack stands. Locate the damaged brake lines and remove them by loosening the fittings with a line wrench to prevent stripping. Measure and cut the new brake line to the appropriate length, then bend it to match the original routing before attaching it using the fittings. Finally, bleed the brake system to remove any air and ensure proper function.
To unclip a brake line on a 2004 Chevy Impala, first ensure the vehicle is safely elevated and secured. Locate the brake line clip, which may be held in place by a retaining clip or bracket. Use a pair of pliers or a flathead screwdriver to carefully release the clip, being cautious not to damage the line. Once the clip is removed, you can disconnect the brake line fittings using a brake line wrench to prevent rounding the nuts.
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.
