Alright I got my ss lines and rotors in and went to install them first line went on easy second line of the passenger front the bolt on the metal line that threads onto the hose and connects the two is stripped and I can't get it off....any suggestions? Should I cut it and run an entire new metal line? Also there has got to be an easy way of getting those dumb screws out of the rotors because they are not budging at all and just starting to strip..

Any help would be appreciated!

use an impact driver to get the screw out of the rotors. you can get one from autozone/pepboys for like $7.

as far as the threaded fitting, i would suggest running a new line since that would be the safest way to fix the problem

Yea, when I replaced my lines I stripped two of the nuts on the hardlines. Replaced the hard line on the front one and managed to get the rear nut tightened up by using some sand paper in between the nut and the flare wrench. I recommend using some penetrating oil on the nuts and using the sand paper so there is no chance of stripping a nut and having to replace a hard line.

Where do i order the line?

any honda dealer or online honda dealers parts dept can help on the replacement line.

I guessing that you were using an ordinary open end wrench for this, to save yourself the aggrevation buy yourself some line wrenches or flare nut wrenches. They are basically an open end wrench but close further around the fitting to get a better grip without stripping the fitting.

Ironically I was using a 10mm flare nut wrench....Ima just cut the line and put a new nut on it then flare it honda tech told me its fine as long as it doesn't leak
