Hello mate
brake lines on all cars can be replaced if needed, on the s from memory, the pipes are in a plastic cover along the length of the car, If you do need to replace them firstly you will need a flaring tool flaring tool and a pipe bender pipe bender and also some cunifer(copper nickle ferros) brake pipe (non corrode),and some compression fittings. or there is a kit as below car parts direct It is amazingly easy to replace bakelines with very little experience, the fiddly bit is bleeding the system, but if you use the guidelines in the honda manual you should have no problems Or as hypersonic said, you may have enough play just to replace the end |
