I just purchased a set of Russell SS brake lines, and was curious if there's any tips/tricks I should know before installing. Is it just a straight swap from the stock hoses? and do I need to put any type of sealant on the hoses (read somewhere that plumbing tape would be good to put around the bolt).

Also replacing the calipers and Master Cylinder as soon as I get them. Any tips on these?

 

Yes, some teflon tape or thread sealant would be recommended on the threads. Other than that, it's just a basic swap.

 

teflon tape isn't needed. the brake line ends should seal without the need of teflon tape. I would recommend getting some crescent flare nut wrenches though so you don't strip the brake lines when disassembling it. Also, get some PB blaster penetrating liquid.

 

No teflon tape needed on flared fittings.

+1 on the flare nut wrenches, or else you'll send up stripping.
