I have managed to round one of the brake union nuts that sits on the copper brake line. I used a brake flare spanner thing but it just gave way  anyone no the best course of action? Replace the copper brake ya think? The other side was fine funnily enough  |

Yeh was thinking that. If I bought the pipe from pug how easy is it to re-route it where it currently runs? Or is it best I get a new pipe cut to length, flared and then refitted. I think I've just answered my own question  |

It depends on the pipe. What I would do is measure a clear route (not necessarily the standard route) and fit a new pipe.As long as the pipe is secure and not rubbing on anything it'll be fine. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
