I began to fix my braking problem.
So, I began by removing the line. Pretty simple, one 10mm up top, remove one clip, and follow the hose down to the mounting brackets (10mm), then to the brake caliper itself (14mm). Should leave you with this:
You can go to the junkyard and repeat the steps. Luckily I have a parts car in the backyard:
Cut was bigger then i thought:
Both are exactly the same, so i continued on:
Intalling the brake line is simple, just do a reverse of what you did when you pulled it:
Very important step, make sure you put this clip back on to hold the line from moving:
Tighten the top 10mm again, it isnt going to go all the way in, but make it tight to prevent leaking:
Now for the master cylinder:
There are 2 12mm nuts holding it on the car and 2 10mm nuts attached to it on hardlines. remove the ones connected to the hardline first. then remove the 2 12mm:
Donor car:
And it should be able to be pulled right off:
Compared the really fast:
Repeat steps and you're finished. Make sure the threads on the hardline are hand started and do not cross thread those. They are copper and they will be a pain to try and get off. Final product:
But before you're done, bleeding brakes is a must for all 4 brakes. Pretty sure all of us know how to bleed brakes so i didnt take pictures.
