Swapping brake lines
 
Many years ago, my 350z's brake line came apart at the crimp. I am terrified of that happening again on my 370z. I already have a new replacement sitting in my garage, but just curious to see how difficult is it to actually put it on. Is it as simple as getting two wrenches and get it back on or is there more trick to it? I am looking to replace the soft lines with the factory ones again.

I just installed some SS lines from Z1. Was very easy and straight forward. Make sure you get some sort of protection so the new brake lines don't chaff on the suspension parts. I used some 5/16 fuel line tubing and cut to fit where the lines were touching. I also used safety wire to hold the fuel line on instead of zip ties. Bleeding was a snap using a vacula bleeder but a mighty vac will do the same.

I installed the Z1 coated SS brake lines. It wasn't difficult just time consuming in the rears especially with 2 lines per corner. A vacuum or pressure bleeder will make it a lot easier.
