I am going to be replacing my front brake lines because my brakes like to rub occasionally which is quite annoying. I have replaced the calipers, pads, and rotors with no success so I have narrowed it down to the brake lines. Now my main question is how easy is it to replace them and how long should I set aside to do it?

 

get the bending tool, not springs, and flaring tools. NOTE the flare MUST be double. and the bends must have NO kinks. dont for get to put the nut on BEFORE flaring, AND put a little anti-seize compound the threads of the nut, and between the nut and the tube. youll be glad when you take it apart after 70,000 miles. if you have never done that, youll have to practice some. you might wast some, that is normal. get the right size brake tubing from your real parts house.

 

Did you replace your rubber lines? Mine caused my caliper to lock up one day. After they get so old they get brittle and weak and when they get hot they will suck shut until they have time to cool down.

 

Sorry should've been more specific I am replacing the rubber portion of the brake lines. I can go on rock auto and get the lower brake line assembly for $10 a piece so that is what I was thinking of doing since they are a pressure line.

 

They are easy to do I think I got mine for 18 a piece from napa. Pretty much take your tire off and get a few wrenches and loosen it. About a 30min job for each side.
