brake line broke

CartsXJ · Nov 10, 2003

So the extended brake line on the drivers side broke while I was trying to bleed the brakes. Does anybody know whether NAPA can make custom length rubber brake line. I need to get this thing on the road as soon as possible

Thanks

depending on how tall you are, you could use the stock lenght for a SHORT fix. I dont know exactly how long it is, but if you have them, i am sure you can judge to see if it is safe. Napa probly doesn't carry that, but there may be a longer stock brake line off another application. Sorry I cant give a direct answer, maybe it will help a little.

oh yeah, its for a RE 5.5". So can somebody tell me why they you aluminum for the brake line ends. You would think theat they would use stainless.

I'm running an IFS Chev truck brake line. '92 K30.....plenty long

do they just bolt right up? If they do that would be sweet

thanks for the tip

I just used a rubber line from the rear of an yj wrangler from the mid 90's, hope that helps. plenty of length

YJ brake line

I recently put on 95 YJ brake lines, and I think Napa carries them. They waere about 15/ea. They're much longer that stock XJ lines. I also put on 2 passenger side e-brake cables from a 95 YJ that are nice and long too. Just about broke my stock lines off at the drums.
