In the process of a complete brake line overhaul. Not much progress to begin but over the next week the transformation should complete.
For starters lets have a look at why we need to make these changes and how we can prevent the changes from ever needing to be done again.
The rear lines I have several pictures of and all are good, however to save space I will just post one.
The fronts were terrible maybe even worse. The passenger side line that goes down in front is scary and does not appear to be leaking, I do not know how.
The driver side is actually the only one leaking, because it has the flex hose in it. While the flex hose is important I prefer to put a loop in it to allow the vibration of the abs pump to be absorbed without adding a point for leaks. If you want to put an hose here it could probably be done for about $35 using fittings like we will be using on the brake hoses later and a very short -an3 hose. Having done this several times without incident I prefer to not install another hose.
