    All you gotta do is unplug your abs, cut the brake pipes going to each back wheel around the middle area of the car (roughly under where the hydro is going to be) put two T piece joiners on both sides of the cut making 2 pipes into one, then run the pipe comming from the front of the car into the back port on the hydro and the front port (closest to the hydro handle) goes into the pipes going to the rear wheels. If you bring the hydro to a motor factors they will just give you the right fittings you need for it as for T joiners they are the same thread as the majority of brake pipe fittings. You will need a brake pipe flare tool, 7 normal male fittings, 1 fitting for the oddball thread on the hydro, two female T joiners.
