Rear axle brake line

Postby 93 W350 LE » Sat Oct 12, 2013 3:07 pm

So, replacing the wheel cylender. I twisted off the frozen fitting. Should I just go ahead and replace both sides? Pre made or bend and flare my own?

Thanks.

In my recent experience with dealing with rusty brake lines...replace them all. All the hard lines on my 91 are parts store type "sticks". I just routed them as same as the old ones, and if they were too long, I put a loop in them.

Got 6' of new line and bent it up. Took a couple trys to get good double flairs though. Good thing I cut long.

bypass the abs valve, replaced all the rubber lines, and buy a good(not autozone) master cylinder. i did this, and my brakes work as good, if not better, than my 01.

Got the fittings for the ABS delete when I got the other brake parts.
