Hey Guys,

I have a 93 dakota, 4x4, ex cab, 318. My one wheel cylinder is leaking and while trying to replace it last night I was unable to get the line off of the WC. I dont have a flaring tool, so I think my easiest soloution is to replace the brake lines at the distrubition block on the rear axle. My only problem is that the truck is at my house and I can't get a measurement. Does anyone know the lengths of the brake lines? I've never had to replace one, so I thought you might have been able to buy them pre bent, but everyone I called this morning has to me no. Also, I was having a problem with the rear brakes sticking on this truck. The minute the truck rolls foward, you can feel the blakes "catch" and drag. When I pulled the drums, everything looks in order as far as the adjusters and the clip for the auto adjustment. Anyone know what can cause this?

 

leading and trailing shoes reversed. Brake fluid soaked in to shoes. Or the one that got me. Push up and down on the rear universal joint,to check the pinion bearing.
