The complete stainless steel replacement kit from Dorman, P/N 919-149, is available for under $100, so why monkeydick around with bending your own?

Thanks for sharing your video. very detailed and informative. Could you please tell me what size brake tubing my 2007 gmc sierra uses ?. I need to replace mine as they are rusted out.. Thanks

Good luck!!! You'll get it...just be patient.

@@SevenFortyOne i lost a few bucks in the stock market jumping in to early, going to do this job now and i see here be patient. Patients is key i see. Thanks for the post.

It wasn't easy but I managed to get it done. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

Good luck!

"I seen?"

Question. What type of cost it would be to replace brake lines on a 2004 Chevy suburban? A street mechanic which use to be employed at a shop quoted me $125 which is awesome but I prefer going into a shop.

I noticed they looked a little punky. I hope they last the winter because if all goes to plan I'm going to get rid of this thing in the spring and get something else. Then it can be someone else's problem.😁

I don't think they realized how aggressive the salt compound that is used on the roads is. I think most cars now have coated lines

@@SevenFortyOne Hi again Rob i forgot to mention i was test driving this renault fuego when suddenly the brake pedal went right to the floor there,s

hi again

@@SevenFortyOne I believe they were simply too cheap and realized they better remedy the situation after a bunch of expensive law suits

I had to remove my tanks because the pump failed, Yes it will help and make the job easier.

Im doing this today.. when you remove the lines from abs does the master cylinder go dry?

It's a big job and took me over a week working an hour two each night after dinner. I suggest talking with a professional mechanic for advice on what you should do in your situation

It's not an easy job....this took me a couple weeks to complete working an hour here or there after work or in free time on a Saturday.

I haven't had a problem

Here is the link for the vid I found where the guy lifted his body. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bMqZgq11rK-ppHU.html. Take a look at the numbers on the license plates and you'll get it.

@@SevenFortyOne Yes, I've notice they all say 741. Im assuming you somehow acquired those coast to coast, by donations. Lol.

No donations, I bought them all from eBay...I collect plates with 741 on them and use them as props in my videos. Ad of now I've got about half of the 50 states. I'd have two more, but I forgot I had them taped to the car and drove off with them. Because I just tape them on, they fell off after a mile or two...

@@SevenFortyOne Holy Shit... Funny/ Not Funny. Dude you were a great help. Thanks again so much, and thanks for the link to the body lift.

look again - the first one is fake too

@@SevenFortyOne word I didn’t even notice lol I appreciate it thought I was trippin ☠️

Yikes!

Hard to say because of the extra time involved with recording this...but probably 5 to 7 total? I'm also a slow worker since I'm not a mechanic by trade

Hey, thanks a lot ! @@SevenFortyOne

You should get some help from someone who has done this before.

@@SevenFortyOne her hubby is a mechanic but laid up. He can give instructions

No, I didn't drop the tank

I'm with you on that,they probably could of used some kind of coating or wrapped the lines ,same with fuel line.

I don't know ..I bought the pre bent lines for mine

Just buy the longest lines the auto parts store sells and use a union unless you want it perfect then buy the nicad lines and run them yourself and flare them

Do I get the SAE or JIC flare tool ?

Good luck!

Sorry, I don't....

I did a search and found the diagram at a few different sites and other youtubers videos. Top outside is rear brakes, top middle is the RF, the top inside one is the RF line. The two bottom ports are your feeds from the master. I don't remember which one goes to which port on the master. You will need to search for that information. Mine is a 2001. I believe they are all the same but verify.

Unless you have the JL4 Active Brake Control option, then you have TWO lines going to the rear from the ABS unit ... Ask me how I know.

​@@faspit95what happens if you put them in wrong?

These don't rust in all parts of the country though. Here in Denver you'll never see rusty brake lines. I have a 98 and 05 Tahoe with original lines and zero rust.

No, the vehicle never left my yard in CT

@@SevenFortyOne Watch the video??

You should watch again and pay close attention to the plates that will help untangle the mystery

Amazon

I don't know, this was a kit and I don't remember the sizes

The size of the rear lines, to the rear calipers, are 3/16". The wrench for the rears are 14mm. The rest of the lines are 1/4". That are also 14mm. Here's a suggestion, cut thre brake lines at the end of the fitting and use a socket. Much easier to remove the fittings with a socket than using a wrench.

I agree!

I wouldn't have done this job if I hadn't snapped one of the lines while doing a caliper swap. It was a messy dirty tedious job for sure.

I couldn't get my camera in there to show it. Did the best I could with what I had to work with at the time

You ungrateful FUCK. This guy (741) busted his balls and took the time to help others out of the goodness of himself to help others tackle this shitty fucking job like this one, and all you have to say is “ He Failed to show YOU The ungrateful ASSHOLE how to screw in the lines”!!! If you cant figure it out for yourself... then PAY someone to do the job!!!! You Total dick head.

@@bostonjake1892 ..... it's called constructive criticism, you Dick Mouth Trout. Nobody ever says anything about their technique on screwing those lines back in. And no one ever mentions anything about how careful you have to be when screwing those lines back in, to prevent cross thread. That's is thee hardest part of the job. There is a technique to the shit. It needs to be shown. Also, no one ever mentions that when replacing the lines, you have to fill the master cylinder up with the bleeder screws off of the calipers and let gravity do the rest, about 20mins 30 mins. until you see drip drops coming from the open bleeders. These are questions that other people will have, that wont get answered because of missing info. .... Fuck you, have a horrible day. I hope you cross thread your abs module BITCH!

Where is your video? You seem to be the authority on brake lines so why not prove it?

@@bishop5166 If you need it explained to you, your a fucking moron. Consider that "Constructive Criticism”. and by the way, My job came out perfect. I didn’t need a coloring books to show me. You ungrateful fuck.
