I take the old one off using a proper brake - pipe spanner, it has a slot in the end and is almost a ring spanner for maximum leverage, open ended spanners can feck up the unions. Its just like un-doing any not TBH....
Then I take the old pipe to my local factors and ask for one of them please dude... easy peasy really, they make it up, I make it fit, then do a brake bleed afterwards. Assuming you mean the solid pipework, if its the flexi's, same deal really.

Price depends on the shop, the pipe length and material....

Buy, borrow, hire or steal some axle stands, to do DIY on your car you need thats sort of basic stuff TBH, ramps at the very least, otherwise your stuffed and need to get a garage to do it.
For small stuff I usually just get a quote for the work from the MoT garage and ask them to do it if the quote is acceptable, saves a re-test fee too that way .

Its a DIY job for sure, but with brakes you need to be careful, thorough and methodical. Buy a brake spanner it will pay you back.

It doesnt need one, its a piece of pee. If you need a guide you shouldnt do it to be fair..... You remove the flexi, catch the fluid that comes out, (dispose of safely later) do NOT re-use.

Fit the new flexi then top up the brake fluid reservoir and bleed the whole brake system... Simplez...

 

[kick ass]

bleeding is by pressing down the brake pedal down untill its hard again

No thats just a part of it, seriously.... this may be beyond you.

Just a mo... (spoon feed time...)

Here you go, 1 minute on Google...

To remove the flexible hose you're going to need a 17mm A/F open ended spanner to hold the flexible hose in place whilst you unscrew the metal pipe with the correct brake spanner. If you try to use an ordinary open ended spanner to loosen the metal pipe fitting, you'll just round off the hexagon and it will stay doggedly where it is.
Cloths to mop up brake fluid are a good idea.
You'll then need pliers to remove the spring clips that hold the flexible hose onto the mounting brackets at each end. You pull them out at right angles to the brake hose - there's a slot in the hose which the clip slides into. It's obvious once you've got it off. If there's a lot of dirt around the mounting, clean it away with a wire brush first, before you start pulling things apart.
Don't forget you'll also need brake bleeding equipment too.

okay tell me if im wrong

put car on ramps
remover brake pipe from wheel and drain it as much as possible in a bottle and pump the brake untill its all gone do the same again but on the other wheel
then get some catapiller clips and unscrew the brake hose and then refit the new brake hose
take off the brake hose get the new bottle of brake oil then tip it in then punch the pedal untill it comes though without any air attach the hose and repeat the other side.

this is the back brakes on a T reg 1999
