"DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins' Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. All right. Now Mark's going to install the steel brake line that he made. If you remember, we had to install rubber brake hoses at each of the calipers because they're floating calipers, they move around. Now, Mark has made that short steel brake line, flared the ends of it, and uses a tubing wrench to install it. If you tighten it up just right, it'll seal up. If you tighten it too much, you'll bend things and wreck the nut. It's just holding hydraulic pressure. So as long as you have it tight, everything will be fine. And now we have it. Make sure it's not rubbing anything. That's why you bend it there just a little bit to make sure it wasn't touching anything. And now we have good brakes on this corner."
