To install:
WARNING
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or
other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause
scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool
to remove all traces of old sealant.
-
Inspect the oil pan. Clean the mating surface for the oil pan with
silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions
on the packaging.
-
Position the oil pump screen and pickup tube in the oil pan and position the oil pan into the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure to install a new O-ring seal. A missing or damaged
O-ring seal can cause foam in the lubrication system, low oil pressure
and severe engine damage.
NOTE
Clean and inspect the mating surfaces and install a new O-ring
seal. Lubricate the O-ring seal with clean engine oil prior to
installation.
-
Position the oil pump screen and pickup tube and install the bolts.

Battery charged starter just clicking
- Actually check batt voltage.. 12 -13 V
- Check Batt cables.. remove them and clean them.
- Check Alternator output.. 14V.. Is it getting to the battery? check battery while running engine.. should be receiving the 14+V Check it at the post.. not the outer edge of the cable.
- Check Battery ground cable at chassis connection.. remove and clean..
- Check Pos Cable at starter.. Remove and clean.

Front driver side cv joint?
could be top/bottom ball joint easy to check ,jack up so wheel off ground hold wheel at 12 o'clock and 6o'clock (the position not the time) and wobble back and forwards then do the same but holding at 3 an 9 if notice movement further investigation needed,while you wobble wheel get someone too look at top/ bottom ball joints ,track rod end if they dont appear to be moving then more than likely bearing this is best done with vehicle on a lift but should be able to carry out on the ground the cv joint could also be responsible but would need a garage to determine as a bit more complex

I can't tell you the length but the diameter of brake lines is commonly 3/16" and rarely bigger - some older vehicles and heavier vehicle use 1/4".
The size of the pipe is intuitive by simple comparison or measuring with a caliper but there is several different threads, lengths, diameters of pipe nuts in common use and it is important to get these right first time.
It is also very important the replacement pipe is formed exactly as the original, follows exactly the original route and is adequately secured.
When one brake pipe fails usually others aren't far behind and the failure of a pipe should signal a very close examination of the others, especially looking for corrosion scale or pitting close to the wheels. Replacing four or five pipes on a large vehicle can use a whole 25 foot roll of pipe.
It might be better to invest in a cheap pipe flaring kit and the materials to produce your own pipes - or remove the old pipes and ask a local repairer to make new pipes to those patterns. That was my job as an apprentice and I must have produced a mile of pipes for outside customers.
