I have a set of these bought for the 172 but haven't got round to fitting them.... yet. Is it a hard job to do, how long could this take to change all 4 providing it goes smoothly? :ashamed:

depends what you mean smoothly... your bound to get a rounded brakepipe union somewhere, before you start make sure all your bleed nipples work or you'll be paying silly money for last minute brake calipers!

Some makes of lines have a larger diameter than oe so you may need to make the hole larger to get them on which will hold you up. Using a proper brake line spanner helps reduce the risk of rounding any unions.
