2005 Chevrolet Cavalier Brake Line Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake line using the J 45405 Pipe Flaring Tool Kit on 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: Work with J 45405 Pipe Flaring Tool Kit (J 45405) as part of pipe replacement while following brake fluid handling rules plus using double-wall steel brake pipes to stop system breakdowns. Check the brake pipe section that needs replacement and take it out from its holders. Measure the new brake pipe length by including 0.250 inches to compensate for the flaring area on 0.1876 inch pipes. Use the provided J 45405 pipe cutter to cut through the brake pipe straight. Insert the right brake pipe diameter and tube nuts into the J 45405 tool before using its coating stripping feature to remove nylon protection from each end. Apply the de-burring tool from the kit to polish both the tube's inside and outside surfaces. Put tube nuts on then clean the brake pipe and J 45405 before beginning the flaring process by taking off the die clamping screw and placing the die halves. Put the ready pipe end in the dies then tighten the clamping screw before passing the pipe through the forming mandrel. Look for proper shape and size on the flare before installing a pipe bender tool to fix any dimensions. Set up the pipe using proper connections and mount it onto retainers then purge the hydraulic brake system before analyzing for any fluid leaks while operating the engine under brake application.
