How difficult to replace left rear hard brake line?
I have a stock '72 T and it appears the hard brake line that goes from the rear coupler to the left rear wheel is leaking. My brakes suddenly started fading and upon inspection this line appears to be dripping, others look dry. Most of the brake system (MC, calipers, soft lines) is only a couple of years old and in perfect condition.
How difficult is it to replace this line? Do I need a lift? It doesn't appear our host sells this line any idea where I can get one? Is this a common problem? Thanks much! |

Maybe it just needs to be retightened ... either way,it's fairly easy to fabricate a new line with a bubble flairing kit and a length of 6mm brake line that you can purchase at any auto parts store.
No you don't need a lift,jack up the car and remove the wheel,plenty of access ! Cheers ! Phil

I have the car on jack stands and the wheels off. It appears this line goes from the coupler on the right side of the car up and over the transmission then down to the left side. It looks like it's leaking from up top above the transmission.
Can I simply "fish" it over the transmission? I don't see how I can access this without a lift(?)... can I get at it from under the jack stands using a creeper? |
