It seems I have so many Jeep irons in the fire right now I'm in the process of overhauling the braking system; rears are done. I managed to snap the steel line at the passenger rear wheel cylinder, so the 12" or so of line from the tee to the cylinder needs replaced. I'm leaning toward replacing all the hard lines at this point, but have some questions.
1) What size are the stock lines? I'm looking at a kit from Eastwood that includes 25' of steel line and I think 16 fittings consisting of long and short lengths, for $17.99. Seems like a good deal.
2) Bare steel or coated? Looks like brake lines come in bare steel or coated with something (AVS maybe? I can't remember now) to prevent corrosion. Are bare steel lines adequate or is it worth the extra money to get the coated variety? I don't have to worry too much about rust in Oregon...
I think that's all for now. Never run brake lines before so I'll have to get familiar with a bender and flaring tool. Still collecting parts at this stage
