Then you'll have to cut the brake line above the frozen assembly and install the new fitting. Make sure you have a bubble flaring tool to do the job. Bring the flex line with you to make sure you get the right fitting.   Perrone Ford (Perroneford) Member Username: Perroneford Post Number: 94 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 09:16 pm:    Bubble flare? Do our LRs use bubble flares like old 1960's trucks or do they use the more modern double flare as is common on almost all vehicles? -P   Nick Bellistri (Nickbell) Member Username: Nickbell Post Number: 64 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, April 17, 2003 - 11:12 pm:    it is a 95 if thats makes a difference
