2000 Chevrolet Corvette Brake Line Parts and Q&A

• Q: What are the steps and tools required for replacing brake lines to ensure safety and proper installation on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Double walled steel brake pipe must be selected when replacing brake pipes to prevent system failure while proper placement of the new pipes must be achieved through original fastener installation at their original positions. This process requires an essential tool known as the ISO Flaring Tool (J 29803-A) because this vehicle depends exclusively on ISO flaring for brake pipe connections without acceptance of single or double lap flares. The brake system requires double or single lap flares as its standard connection method. Start your project by acquiring size-determinative recommended steel fitting nuts and tubing alongside appropriate tubing measurements from the outside diameter. Use a string to measure the length of the old pipe then cut the tubing to this measurement and add 0.118 inches (3mm) per ISO flare. Atm first install the fittings before you flare the tubing ends using a tool that follows the ISO standard (J 29803-A). Bend the pipe assembly to fit the original pipe using a pipe bender but maintain a 19 mm (0.075 inch) gap between all moving and vibrating parts.
