Bmw Brake Line Fittings at Frank Dugas blog

Bmw Brake Line Fittings. Many people are not aware that there are different types of brake lines, different types of flares (with different unions), different materials that they can be made of, or how to cut, and flare them properly. The most common brake line size for most bmw’s and particularly true for e30’s is 4.75mm with a m10 x 1.00 flare nut. You can buy a flaring tool from the auto parts. To change the brake lines you are going to have to open up the system. Brake fluid is going to leak out. You must use flare fittings. A union and not a compression fitting (compression fittings for brakes are illegal and for good reason) is a good choice. Screwdriver to remove rivets (pry the center pin outward to remove the plastic rivet). You *cannot* use compression fittings on a brake line. Get copper nickel lines, sur&r among others sell kits with fitting, albeit at slightly higher than standalone bits. Have a large drip tray under the suspension of the wheel you are working on.
