break line installation

Just got my front and rear brake lines from wheelers in the mail. is there a write up on how to replace this. or does anyone have any tips on what to look out for?

 

oh and sorry for the misspelling on the title

 

this guy can do it for you,he is also good with clutch jobs.

 

HAHA! yea hes pretty good. i guess after that this cant be too hard.

 

naw,make sure you got a good line wrench.

 

i dont have any line wrench. time to invest

 

Excellent advice.

Keep the threads clean, make sure that everythiing is tight and bleed them really well. I had to remove the hard line on the rear to get the fittings apart, be careful and don't kink the lines.

It is pretty easy other than that.

 

Damn, Jbob, you got way dirtier than me. (Of course, this was early in the day)

 

gives you a good reason to buy tools.post some more derty pics when you finish.

 

thats dylan in the pic,i'm way better lookin than him.thats a lot of work to change the oil filter.

 

Oops, sorry about that.

I had forgotten that you needed a floor jack to get to that filter.

 

lol

When I replaced mine I was wanting to take pictures because I couldn't find any to use either. Then I think I realized why . . . nobody wants to get brake fluid all over their camera - it's bad shit! Don't get it on your paint.

Anyway, you'll definitely need a 10mm flare nut wrench. At the higher end of the front and rear lines there is a slide clip holding the connection in place. The clip can be rough to remove, but leave it until you've loosened the flare nut - it'll make things much easier.

Have plenty of towels on hand. Bunch a towel up around the end of the hard line after you've separated it from the flexible one so you don't spill fluid while getting the new flex line ready.

The front lines are a piece of cake to handle on the caliper end, but the upper end is not the most accessible. I had to reach up through an opening from underneath - takes some threading with your arm. The job itself isn't tough, but getting to all of the connections can take a little time. You'll need to remove the RL wheel and both fronts when working in those respective areas. Also, you'll need to move the 'skirts' or whatever they're called around the upper suspension areas in the front. I broke a couple of the clips holding that on, so be careful.

Other than this, make sure you bleed the lines well when you're finished. Post if you need anything, or have questions.
