Hi everyone, unfortunately my FLP's melted my brake line does anyone have diagrams of the line so I can trace back from the ABS module I need to disconnect.

Also any advice on tools anything special I would need to R&R. Thanks in advance.

Looks like I need the line that connects the MC1 at the ABS module

You should also check all those plastic line seperators/frame mounts. Water builds up in them and the metal lines rot.

You have any info on that replacement line itself. Looks like it controls the front brakes. I dont have any. The reservoir is empty in the back, full in the front.

What do you need? Size? Fittings? I just did mine back in August. I used the copper nickel line and reused the ends.

This guy in white where I had rot issues. But it was the line to the rear. And the MC line was close to busting too. Did the LF line also since it was easy and looking suspect.

@91ss honestly I don't know. I know I need a replacement line that will replace the line currently connected to MC1. I limp the car out of the garage for the evening. Won't be able to get back at it until Friday. Id like to get a sense of what I need or if I can simply purchase the OE replacement line.

I highly doubt any factory lines are still available. I only see bulk line listed in the GM parts manual.
Also, to route it in factory manner requires undo many of the lines to run them. I could have taken a much easier path for the new line but want to keep more stock looking.

To just get you going, a much simpler line would do. Straight sections from auto stores would work buy probably would need right adapters to match the prop valve and antilock end. Copper nickel line and a bubble flaring tool and you're probably set.

@91ss thank you.

 

[Henry '06]

@91ss would you happen to know the size line?

 

[91ss]

The line is 3/16". Also I circled where the right front line crosses over all the other lines. Which is why it and others need to be disconnected to run the line as originally. And you might notice, the steering shaft is out which would be almost impossible to do with it in.

Go to inlinetube.com they sale preformed brake lines already.

I used Inline Tube full set on my 96 B4U Caprice. Works fine.

Ended up buying 25ft of brake line and just reran the lines. Later on I may got the prebent lines. All good for now. Thanks guys.
