I have really been debating the whole prebent or bending my own. What type of flaring tool would you recommend? Anything to watch for a stay away from?
Also, does anyone know if a new master cylinder has the residual valves in them? The guys at the parts places really cant tell me for sure. As I understand it I must have to residual valves, is that right? These are manual drums. I was going to replace the master but reuse the distribution block. the brakes used to work until I started taking them apart (I know because when I stepped on the brake pedal fluid shot out of so many holes in the hard lines it looked like it was raining). Anyways, thanks for the replies.
