Options available to resolve the brake line issues

Sugar Bear, after much researching on Brake hose from ASR Charging pump to Hydraulic unit Part number: A1244280735, very few websites carrying mercedes Parts have it in stock. Based on my experiences shopping mercedes parts online, very few of them carry the part in stock.

I am very intrigue by your idea of hard line using ni-cop tubing. Upon further research, I found quite a few options available:

Assuming the tubing is 3/16 inch along with brake line tube nuts 3/16 inch (black oxide coated steel brake line nuts), Here is what I found:

Nickel/Copper Brake Line Tubing Nickel-Copper Brake Line
Brake Line Flare Tool Kit

3/16 line - buy the whole roll of cunifer line - but will need a bubble flaring tool (dont do the half double) and metric bubble nuts to go with it. 3/16 line - buy the whole roll of cunifer line - but will need a bubble flaring tool (dont do the half double) and metric bubble nuts to go with it.



Flaring brake lines ensures a leak-proof connection without extra materials or sealants. If the brake lines aren't properly flared, you can lose fluid that will cause your brakes to fail. This article will explain how to flare brake lines using single and double flares.https://www.wikihow.com/Flare-Brake-Lines

What about this Brake line Flaring Tool, Double Flaring Tool kit Copper Aluminum Soft Steel Brake:

Bubble flaring tool kit 3/16 in. tube size to M10 - 1.0 thread bubble flare European steel tube nut

The above options are just a few. Sugar Bear, what do you think would be the best option for me considering the stripped nut but the brake line is ok? Perhaps just use the same brake line as it is already there and put more pressure on the stripped nut to turn inside the ASR pump hole?


Any comments/feedback/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all for reading this post.
