do it yourself. it's literally just undo it from the caliper and then undo it on the other side and replace with new. do it to all 4 corners and then bleed the brakes. the dealership is full of ****. it only takes their trained techs 1.5 hours

Again, he said the hard lines, so my initial replies were the correct ones.

well all they quoted me for was 2 hours plus parts... so i guess thats about right... but what did **** me off is they are wanting to charge me another hour of labor to put in brake fluid... and im not joking... it says brake fluid 15.00 dollars, labor 1.00 hours

oh haha i didn't read anything. you can take your old hardlines to autozone and they will have the right size including all the connectors and flaring tool that you can loan. it's a lot easier than you think. the lines they sell already have connectors on them so they usually should fit the ones on the car. only annoying thing is tracing the system of lines
thanks dragon
