C6 brake line change

Looking to change my brake line this weekend. I have a question. I assume there are two copper gaskets on the caliper side end of the hose? What about on the hard line side? Anything I have to watch out for before I change?

Thanks

Also, anyone have the part # for the copper oring? Thanks

I dont have the part number handy, but there are no washers on the hard line side. its the other type of fitting, not a banjo type.

You might want to order the GM fittings in case you need to cut the hardlines and put on the new end fitting. Here's a thread with good info.
