All of this looks like fairly straightforward DIY. Bending brake tubing can be done, and a double-flare tool is not particularly expensive. I bought one for the Ebola Fishtank, though I no longer know where it is. Somewhere, no doubt... Practice putting flares on the ends of scraps before you tackle the big boy.
It might be possible to cut out the bad spot in the middle, and flare in a splice section of hard line. Not sure if you can get female fittings or not. My _guess_ is that all W126 use the same braking parts. Or, rebuild the calipers you have. If you can get the kits, they're cheap. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
