Brake Line?

I was looking at buying a 85 SR5.

Somebody Stole the thing and took the master/Booster and cut the hardlines what I want to know is how hard i it going to be to replace them?

Thanks

I have had really good luck finding hard lines at the salvage yard. You might even be able to find some on another Toyota that would work, if none of your particular model or year are available.

Its very easy....I would recommend buying new hardlines from the dealer....they arent that expensive....just screw the new ones in...attach the lines and bleed

Copper for brake lines is a big

Use steel, or don't use anything.

nor*cal,

If you're in norte country, try Pick-n-Pull!

Fill out your profile! "norcal" means different things to different folks.

yes .. copper is not a good plan, way to soft , and not DOT .. it'll split just when you need them


any jobber or aftermarket parts supplier will have universal lines (metric) you can bend quite easly .. a socket or jar/round object makes a very easy and "profesional" bend , you dont need special tools .. just time .
