Hello all, noob to this site. I own a 1990 w250. So I have had my sweet ride for over 5years now and love it...other than the brakes. 5 years ago I had the rear brakes redone by a shop. They also did the brake master. Well, the brake master started leaking again. This time, I am doing it so I know it's all correct. So I replaced the brake master, vacuum pump, brake booster, front pads, rear shoes, wheel cylinders, drums, adjusters, adjuster spring and mechanism, rear bearings, seals, and brake spring kit . So then upon tightening the old lines into the new cylinders, the line twisted and kinked and essentially broke. So now I am just going to upgrade the entire system and do a stainless brake line kit/set. Does anyone know where I can find a pre bent stainless kit that I can just install?? I noticed that the leaking master cylinder rotted the front lines out also. So now, I am just going to replace every line on the truck and be done with it for a while. Also, can I just bypass the rwal unit in the rear driver frame rail.. I've heard that they give a lot of guys problems. After getting the brakes in and battling them, this straw broke this camels back and I'm pretty frustrated about how badly the brake lines are beat.
