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.

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.
