Bleeder broke on my abs pump...

[ellis93]

Confused: so I bought those two fittings which each have a male and female side. There are two lines going into the abs pump. Do I take the lines out, bend them a little so they bolt together? What coupler do I use?

Do I take the lines out, bend them a little so they bolt together?
Yes

What coupler do I use?
Both. You put them together

[Diesel]

So the coupler I use is one of the ones that's on the current pump? Just bend the lines so they face each other and use one the couplers on the pump along with the two brass fittings?

Can anyone confirm that I use one of the silver fittings that are on the abs pump to put the two lines that go into the ABS pump together? Also I definitely bend the stock lines to face each other?

ELLIS!!! Thank my man! So I bought two fittings that have a male and female side but I do not have a coupler. I think that is why I was so confused! Basically I just need to get a coupler that mates the smaller line to the smaller side of the two fittings? Any ideas on size?

The brass one in the pic is a 3/16 brake line union.

Nice. Ok so it's really 3 pieces needed to delete the rwal pump from the system.

Nobody has ever posted that a 3rd fitting was needed. I just thought that you screwed the 2 adapters together and screwed the lines into them.
Another clear cut case of spreading misinformation!

PToombs - I wouldn't say its "misinformation" just that not all the needed parts were originally listed (hey what do we care we're enjoying these fine trucks while others have to drive around with fords/chevy's!).

So I bought the coupler and now I think I have all of the pieces needed.

I vow to produce a proper parts list to bypass the RWAL modulator. I will also try and post "Dorman Help!" equivalents that are far more easily acquired than Weatherhead and the like.

I was actually poking fun at Mark because he was reprimanding me the other day about spreading misinformation.
I'd rather drag my dodge than drive a ford.
