you just need a flaring tool, a cheap bender, and a pipe cutter, and time. it's probably 1 of the easier jobs you will do on a car. carefully remove all the old lines, and every 1 that has fancy bends, try to recreate with the bender and you can carefully use your hands on 3/16" to get stuff just right, you probably need 3/16", you will need adaptors for the master cylinder, replace the wheel cylinders in the rear drums/ front drums if you have them on the front, because they probably should be replaced anyway and it saves time fighting with the bleeders, even tho it takes some time to change the cylinders. you need to bleed the brakes after installing new lines so make shure the caliper bleeders are free ( if you have frt disc brakes ) and work, if you don't have a functional bleeder, you can't get the air out of that side.You don't know what you've got til it's gone
