I'm thinking about swapping over to stainless brake lines, I've seen other posts that recommend Earls Stainless Steel braided lines,any other good brands to consider?

Also - what seems to be the best way to bleed the brakes after changing the lines? I've never done it before. What kind of tools are out there?

 

get a mityvac vacuum pump. its 30 bucks but makes bleeding a one man job. you hook a tube up to the bleeder screw, start pumping, and loosen the screw. when bubbles stop coming out you tighten the screw and your done.

 

Russell makes good stainless steel brake lines. I've got those on my truck and they work great. I just don't know if they make them for your truck or not?

 

If your gonna order the Russell lines just pick up a set of their speed bleeders while your at it. Sure makes bleeding the brakes simple, just fill the resevior and pump, you can do them all at once. For me i tow alot so i tend to bleed the brakes every 8 months or so due to loss of pedal feel from the break down of the fluid.

 

I got Russell ones, too. I found the Earl's lines to be a bit short on the front.
