replacing rear brake line?

i recently replaced my front calipers and brake lines, but when bleeding the front brakes my rear line blew out around the gas take area.
I wanted to just disconnect that line and run a new one from the mastercylinder to the rear porportioning (sp?) valve. or atleast thats where i think it goes.

is this somthing i can do in my driveway with a jack and jackstands and simple hand tube bender or should i send it to a shop to do? i've never bled rear brakes with drums before any info is appreciated thanks a bunch

also wondering if anyone has a diagram of the brake lines for a 95 v6 4runner? thanks

Call the dealer and get their price on the prebent factory line. It probably wont be too expensive. I bought fuel line from the dealer and I was surprised that they diddnt want an arm and a leg for it.

get the dealer part

Might as well do the gas lines becuase they are probably just as rusted...
