Re: Brake lines

when running your brake lines it is nice to have a slight uphill run to the master cylinder, that way bubbles find their way to the top overnight. also try not to make a "P" trap style anywhere that will trap air like the plumbing trap under the sink traps water. hard to bleed those. when running the lines I usually flare one end and then connect loosely so it will move if a little force is applied. that way you can do a few bends under the truck while the line is connected. you will likely be making a few trips up and down from the creeper unless you have a hoist.
