How would I replace my brake lines with my new ones without spilling Brake Fluid all over the place? ???

Theres no way around that. Just drain it into your mouth and swallow it.

put one of the brake lines in a bottle and bleed it first! then do the other!

Maverick, is your name eric?


Anyways, back on topic. There is really no way around it. You have the lines full of brake fluid in the first place. Once you take one end off, they WILL start to leak. Right now, you HONESTLY DO NOT NEED brake lines unless you are upgrading to a +2 or more arm. My stock 06 lines fit perfect with no stretch on my +.5 houser arms.

So, there is no way around it. Get dirty. Or take it in a shop and have it done.

Also, why not just buy new DOT 4 brake fluid. Its cheap and would be fresh.

Do it at your friends house that way it will be his mess. Also here is a little tech tip.......dont refill with brake fluid, leave it empty. Go straight to the track and try out you new "air brakes".

I actually should stop messing with you. You have come a long way and are not nearly as annoying as you used to be.  :-*
