Good luck with the rear lines. I could not get the stock rear lines loose on my car.
A got a couple of tips:
One tip is to have a rubber cap to put on the end of the brake line to keep the brake fluid from running all over the place.
Don't let the fluid reservoir run dry.
Remember that brake fluid will eat throughpaint; so be careful. Brake fluid also givesmy skina slight burning sensation when it gets on my hands.
Also make sure you bleed the brakes when you're done.

I suggest you use a line wrench, a regular wrench will work but if the line is seized you'll just strip it, don't ask me how I know. Spray some PB blaster on them too before starting. The bleeding should start from the wheel farthest from the master cylinder. So its right rear, left rear, right front, left front. Theres really no brake bleeding DIY because its really easy, take off the tires and they're right there. Just keep some rags and a catch pan handy. Remember to open the reservoir while doing this. Don't ever let it run dry.

As long as you keep fluid in the resevoir there is no need to bleed the clutch line. You can bleed it if you want but it really isn't necessary.

this is a question for you guys that have steel braided brake line is it just the 6 brake lines that come with the kit or should there be some crush washer included??
mine just came with 6 brake lines but on the back of the package it talks about how to use the crush washers so im unsure if my kit is not complete or do they use the same backing of the package for all of their brake line kits
