Copper brake lines

Guys are there any changes in ph1 and ph2 copper brake lines. Come to change the back ones and they are seized resulting in me rounding the unions.

Cut the pipe close to the union, get a hex socket over the ends to get em out, then take the sections to a local garage and get them to flare you some new ones....it's real easy. I have a kit to do my own and it's literally a five minute job.

U can get a brake pipe flaring tool from ya local motor factors for not much cash, save yourself some cash long term by doing them yourself

I have a Sykes flaring tool, pisses copper and steel lines.. Bit expensive but my cheap nasty one slid about while flaring so binned it.

It's all a standard size, 3/16" copper pipe, I think the unions are M10x1.0 or something like that. I can't remember for sure, I just reach into the big tub in the garage lol

I think two of the unions on the rear brake comp are bigger, they may be on the two brake pipes that go from front to rear. I'm sure someone will confirm this.
