Stainless Steel Brake Line Install?

Just picked up the Earl's hyperfirm stainless steel brakeline kit and was looking for anyone that has installed this on their 93-97 LT1 Car.

Any special tools required?
Did you run into any specific problems?
Anything to watch out for?
Install guides?

Thanks,

Aaron

i just did it a couple weeks ago.Pretty easy to install.Just make sure you use the right size line wrenches.And some good penetrating oil.

I agree with joeSS97. When I put the Earl's on my 96Z I blead only the wheel cylinders and had a very low pedal. The book recomends bleeding the ABS hydraulic modulator first. First the Rear ABS Bleeder then the Front ABS Bleeder (This is called Priming the ABS hydraulic modulator). After this go to the furthest wheel, Right Rear, Left Rear, Right Front then Left Front. After that I had no problems.
