Metal Brake Lines - Front to rear

These are the metal brake lines found throughout the car. We suggest you go buy a 11mm tubing wrench and a tubing bender before you start replacing lines. If you have an extra 11mm box end wrench, you can cut a slot in the box end which will allow you to slip it over the tube. When breaking the metal line loose from the brake hose, use a 17mm wrench on the hose and the 11mm wrench on the metal line. Once you have broken it free, remove the clip that holds the hose. When installing the new line, hand thread the nut into the brake hose and then install the clip and tighten. You will need to take out the driver's seat when replacing the front to rear line because it runs along the tunnel. Cut the old line in half. Unthread both ends, one at the master cylinder and the one at the rear union. Pull it out from the inside of the car. Now make the bends in the new line with the tubing bender using the old line as a pattern. Install the new line from the inside of the car starting with the front. Make sure you have grommets where the line goes through the firewalls. 2760mm/108.6
