Hey guys, I was unable to successfully remove my rear right hardline from the splitter to the soft line and had to cut it to get my line out of the bracket. I need to fabricate a new line and went to the store to get a flare kit but was puzzled by their question. They asked if I needed a bubble style flare or a double flare. I am not sure which I need. Any suggestions?

Nissan uses a double flare. But you should be able to just buy a new line.

Csk autozone,napa.... You just have to match them up. Our brake lines are like 10mm ends out whatever, they won't be able to look it up by model, you just gotta match them. Just had to do this on my girls car.
