Re: replacing brakeline

DO NOT use compression fittings. Compression fittings are only rated to 170psi, not NEARLY enough for a brake line. Brake lines must use inverted flare or bubble flare. The OEM fittings on the vehicle are in fact metric. If it's a 4 door, you can remove the fuel tank and get right at the entire length of line.
