When I did my explorer axle swap I had to re do the brake lines since they were either to long or short. I got lines from the rack at Oriellys and tried to put them on my truck after bending them. Well they would leak like crazy from the block on top of the axle. And this continued, the lines would leak, and after closer inspection there were little defects in the flanges. Finally after going to an older store they had some that had been sitting on the rack for awhile. After bending and putting those on they worked fantastic, no leaks, no anything. It just seems like to me brake hardlines need to be of the high quality, because if there is any little defect they will leak. New ones are cheaply made.
