It was one of the front twirly lines.

Going to replace all the front hard lines as soon as I figure out what to buy

Brake fluid everywhere

 

Anybody got a diagram for the front hard lines? Maybe @super_white

Does this help?

 

Get copper lines, flare tool, and flare nuts

 

Very helpful, thank you

Its a little weird for me to say this but I'm just looking for a bolt on affair. The brakes are not what I need to be screwing with right now.

 

I feel like you're gonna spend a lot for factory lines. Otherwise gets premade lines from the auto parts store and bend as needed. Lisle makes a nice pair of line pliers that make bending super nice

 

They arent too horrible surprisingly.

 

Not terrible

 

Not that I have that skill to bend lines anyway..but for that price, IMO pay them and be done with it. Simplicity is good.

 

@super_white good advise below or bad? I will be disconnecting both front lines from the master

 

That is what I do if I need to open up the brake system, it works well!

 

I've never had to use that procedure. If I replace a caliper or wheel cylinder, I pinch off the flexible line. If I replace a component (master cylinder, ABS actuator, etc.), I bleed the brakes normally using my vacuum bleeder. I usually let each corner gravity bleed for a couple seconds before using the vacuum bleeder. But that depends on what I fixed.

What line/lines are you replacing?

 

All the front lines. From master/abs thing to caliper

 

If your just doing lines then a regular brake bleed will work. You can use a small rubber plug to keep fluid spill to a minimum.

One thing. Protect your paint, brake fluid loves to eat paint. If you do spill some, do not wipe it, pour water on it.

 

Thanks for the tips, I did try to clean it the best I could but it was everywhere. Used simple green and a hose

 

Theres a non-zero chance it's why my bedside looks the way it does, not fully sure when it could have happened but I have an idea.

 

Yeah my brother replaced the master on his danger ranger and spilled it all over the fender looked like shit real quick

Glad they decided to do it again. Hope they start doing random names instead of trying to get peeps that are far from each other. My .02


Crazy busy at work and seems like the whole house is taking turns being sick.
