Alright, im doing the five lug swap and i did the back already, works good, and when i went to the front, i busted both ball joint boots (great) and i cant figure out what to do with the brake lines... I have both hard lines, but i dont see how they go up to the single piston lines. I see there is a soft line that goes from the hard line (the one that goes all the way to the master cyl), and then it goes to a joint thats clips into the strut, and then a soft line that goes from there to the caliper. I *think* im supposed to take the soft line from the strut to the caliper off.. BUT.. it WONT come off. i had two pairs of vise grips on there after being soaked in penetrating oil.. i dont think it comes apart (after striping the **** out of both sides). Anyone know what to do about brake lines? Thanks

if u dont have the 4 piston calipers i do and will sell
and it makes it nicer if u have the t2 or a 5 lug brake booster cause the brake pedel will fill spongie its funny p.m.-----> me bout the calipers

Roy James

i have the calipers, i have everything i need for the swap (i think) the rotors, hubs, calipers and hard lines, i just cant figure out how to get the hard line to go with the soft line, i may just go to the dealership tomarrow and get two soft lines for a GXL/TII (four piston calipers).

silverFC

yea you need the 4 piston caliper hard lines the ones off the caliper and the 4 piston soft lines and it will work

Roy James

yeah thats what it looks like to me too, but when i asked everyone they just said use the soft line on there (i was assuming takeing the two soft lines apart, and replacing the soft line going to the caliper with the hard line and then mating the hard line and soft line together) but it seems to me like its just one big *** soft line with a link that goes to the strut in the middle. Thanks

the hard line off the 4 piston caliper goes up 2 that u shape thing on the strut and the 4 piston soft lin screws 2 the hard line and the other end of the 4 piston soft line goes to the hard line that pokes through the finder

bingo, ill go buy the soft lines tomarrow, anyone know how much i should expect to break the bank on?

You can get SS lines for about 90 bucks.

eh, the cars gotta run by tomarrow. I was asking how much for stock soft lines, im guessing about 15 a peice. Thanks
