Shake and Bake, the flare I must make is dependent on the fittings on the car. It is extremely likely they are SAE 45* double flare fittings, but if anyone could let me know for sure I'd like to ensure I've got a compatible flaring tool and parts handy before tearing out these very rusted lines.
In case you are interested...
Replacement lines are available via OEM or aftermarket. Dorman makes them in stainless or mild steel.
If you already have all the necessary flaring tools then it's probably easier and quicker to make your own. I do it both ways. Some stuff is just easier to order pre-made while other stuff comes out better by doing it yourself. You might try and visit the dealer and have them pull the part so you can inspect the flare and then you'll know for sure.
