Brake lines ...you mean brake pipes??

if so need a flaring tool ..some brake pipe ends and some brake pipe...I know some motor factors make them up if you take the old ones in ..which is going to be easier and cheaper

Spring???...should really change suspension parts in pairs

mine failed on the rear pipes as well,, garage wanted 35 pound a pipe,, so would have been 70 quid!!!! bought the flaring tool for 8 pound and lucky they gave me the pipe and male ends for free , you can get them off ebay got to get the imperail size tho,, but i dont think they would of been that dear,, i did it all myself didnt take that long, its more measuring and faring the ends that takes the most time ,, getting the old ends out of the calipier can be tricky as they will prob be corroded as well and a spanner would just round the flats off,, i cut the pipe and unscrewed it using a socket,, to be honest i dont think i am ever going to use the tool again but iv`e got one now so its just been added to my ever growing list of car tools<!--QuoteBegin-callicool+--><div class='quotetop'>(callicool)</div><div class='quotemain'><!--QuoteEBegin-->hi my calibra failed its mot on a couple of things one being the rear brake lines as they are corroded and a cv gator split im ok with the gator but not sure about the lines any1 got any advice on how to do them and where to get them from? also i need a rear spring if any one has one around cheers stu:)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
