are you working off a hoist or on the ground (jack stands)

on a hoist it's easy to move and feed the line but on the ground it would be a pain. if you do it use the new green line it has a coating that helps the line last way longer and they don't kink near as easy as the older silver hard line. I think it's called Polly Armour

have a good asortment of fittings and maby replace the bleeder screws while you are at it and make sure the fittings will break free of the flex hoses (I sometimes heat with a torch and cool with cold water a few times on most fittings)
