I have nearly completed installing the new polyamide high pressure lines
purchased from DHI.  These replace all brake lines in our machine.  I do
like the way they go in.
I did make special tools for installing the new AN fitting into the gear
'foot' and tightening the B- nut onto that fitting.  I simply cut out 1/6th
of deep sockets (7/16" & 9/16") to allow the tube to clear out the side.  In
addition, the 9/16" socket needed to be ground down to a smaller outside
diameter to fit into the 'foot'.
Thanks to Brent and others for this great idea.
As for a brake bleeder, long ago I bought a two gallon orange plastic garden
sprayer pressure pump and modified it as a one man brake bleeder.  It will
pump up to a much higher pressure than a squirt can can provide and holds
pleanty of Mil-H-5606.  The parts are a brass petcock and some clear plastic
line spliced into the output hose which origanally was a sprayer.  It is
powerfull enuf to bleed a five-master-cylinder Piper without turning the
aircraft over.
