Just bought 2 five foot lengths for the last two brake lines on my '93 Toyo 4x4 pickup v6! I asked the guys at Car Quest what are the brake line coils just before the T block unions on the frame @ the right wheel well. They said "they are for cooling the brake fluid, so as to avert any brake fading or other brake problems under heavy brake usage". So I asked , do I need to make the coils in the new brake line am replacing! They said" not really". I only use my truck to go to town, banking and grocery shopping, etc...They said" no problem! So each 5 foot section will just make it from the master cyl. To the T union! Maybe I will put them in Sat. , weather permitting! Will get back with results. Hope this helps . I am nearly done!

Hey, my new brake lines are in. I borrowed a brake line bending pliers from a friend, but it was so sloppy when I tested it on an old piece of brake line that I had to stop and take it down into my basement workshop. I drilled out the pins, found bolts, nuts and washers. Replaced the pins and tightened down the nuts. Enough to allow movement. Now, they work nice! So I got all the old brake line out. Only had to heat one end with a mini-torch, then it came out with vice grips on it. All rusty and bad. The 5' sections bent nicely where they came out of the master cylinder. Then another 90 degree turn to the firewall. Nice! Then across the firewall, and another 90 degree bend down to the T-union. A little tricky to line up the end in the union, but I finally got it. Patience is a virtue! Now its raining. Got to wait till it stops and the wifey comes home and steps on the brake pedal for me to speed up bleeding the lines. Will get back with results. Wish me luck!

 

All the new lines are in! I just replaced the front (left & right) wheel small sections just after the rubber brake lines. I moved the old driver's side one a tiny bit and it started leaking, so I have replaced every inch of brake line now!Luckily all the ends backed out without heating them. Bent and put in the new sections. I bled the brakes again, no air coming out, but still no pedal! Pedal goes to the floor slowly.I hear a wierd sound when I step on the pedal, very faint, is that air or fluid getting by somewhere? On the firewall ? No leaks anywhere! Fluid does not go down in the Master. Strange? Any ideas out there?
