Where is everyone sourcing the brake line material (anyone know the size off hand), just local auto parts store? SAE or Metric Flaring tool?

I think if you managed to not get any air back though the line you can use a simple bleeding procedure: I would use a pressurised system that pumps fresh fluid on demand from a pressurised tank into the reservoir. If air got into the abs block you need a high level tool to activate the block to push it out.

You should be able with a friend bleed the brakes with the pump pump pump hold on the brake pedal but only if you managed to avoid getting air into the system.

Pipe is 3/16 I bought 25' which is more than needed for replacing both rear lines but of you just repair the line likely could buy less than 10'. NiCopp is a brand of nickel copper line.

The fittings are 10x1 mm and 12mm (can't remember if 1mm pitch).

Iso bubble flare.

http://a.co/8K7gakD that's the exact tool I bought and re-worked the horrible engineering of the tool to basically be perfect.
