datsunlover Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Ugh.. you can try cutting it back, re-flare it and splice in a piece... but you're probly not gona have much luck with that. If it broke that easy, I'd bet it's all pretty weak.. I'd say get a whole new section of line (that one runs up over the diff and goes into a 'T' fitting IIRC) and with luck, you'll be able to unscrew the other end from the fitting and get away with that. Worst case, you'll have to do BOTH rear lines, the "T" fitting, and possibly the line from the fitting all the way to the master cyl. Good luck man.. Hope you have patience.

VRJoe Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Undo it at the "T" then go to your local Pep Boys and get a pre-made length close the the length you need, then by a tubing bender and bend it to shape. You can get a pre-made section and if it's too long you'll only have to flare one end. Remember to get the double flare NOT the bubble flare, and if you have to flare it yourself be sure to use a double flare tool. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleMX Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 I had to replace 3 sections of mine. All of the double flairs I made leaked and I ended up buying lengths with the double flairs and nuts installed and bending them to fit. That was easy, but make sure your getting the correct ones. The European metric fittings are the wrong ones, make sure your getting the Japanese ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
