Question:
Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for Single Torsion Axle Trailers - Drum or Disc Brakes Item # DM5424 I have a tiedown eliminator disc conversion kit with flexible hose, which is too long. Im thinking of going with rigid, but wondering whether or not the long length can be shortened DYI. Trying to remove extra lengths.

Expert Reply:
If you shortened the lines of the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for Single Torsion Axle Trailers # DM5424 you'd have to have the ends of the line flared so what most do is coil the excess line with a tube bender. This also adds some flexibility to the lines as well.
