Hi All,
So my brakes went out a while ago and Im just getting around to fixing them.
The hard line or tube failed. I removed the ABS fuse a while ago.
I have removed the lines and am getting ready to make new ones but wanted to throw this out there to avoid any mistakes if possible.
So here's my plan,
1. Remove existing lines from ABS to rear axle (done) and make new ones from stainless steel tubing
2. Replace ABS module with simple line 'spliter'
2(b) use single line to rear axle instead of 2, add spliter at axle
3. use same size connections instead of the LR specialty of 'variety'
Anyone who has done this before please chime in - looking for some advise, recommendations.
It looks like the master cylinder has 2 line out one goes to abs -- the other to proportioning valve(?) and then back to ABS?
I understand I will have to purchase tube bending tools and tools to flare the ends for the fittings. I am curious about the threading gauge as-well.
thanks
***EDIT - Build Materials below
First thanks Disco Mike - NAPA rocks - got the line and fitting there for less than online!
Part No. Desc.
RNS503 x6 RETAINER DUAL BRAKE PIPE
NTC1176 x2 CLIP BRAKE PIPE
RNS504 x3 CLIP DOUBLE BRAKE PIPE
RNI825 x2 HOLD DOWN BRAKE PIPE SINGLE-SER & DEF
RNS756 x7 CLIP-BRAKE PIPE DISCOVERY II
NTC9530 x3 CLIP BRAKE PIPE
SBL3005E4 x1 Goodridge STAINLESS BRAKE FLEX LINE SET DSCO I +4"
_________ x3 25' Roll of Copper Nickel Alloy 3/16" pipe (yes three - approx 65' of hardline in this truck)
_________ x27 10x1mm 3/16" opening fitting
notes:
---you will have to reuse the 1 and only 13mm fitting on one of the lines coming out of the ABS
---flairing - this pipe is soft and twists - get the flare head down snug and use vice grips to stop it from turning as you crank down on it - practice alot first
more to come - almost done
