lothos Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Hey guys 2 years ago when I bought my car, I ended up springing a leak in the brake lines. I replaced the brake lines from the master cylinder back to the rear wheel on the drivers side. There is a brake line that goes from the rear drivers wheel, across the car to the passenger wheel. It is starting to look rusty now. If I replaced most of the lines myself already, how hard is it to replace the rear sections? The brake line goes into a little silver box type thing, I have no clue what that is. Can anyone help with that? WARNING: I'm a total car newbie, don't be surprised if I ask a stupid question! Just trying to learn. Cheers! 5% discount code at RockAuto.com - click here for your discount! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine you are replacing the front portion. That aluminum box is called proportioner. The saddest thing in life is wasted talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine you are replacing the front portion. That aluminum box is called proportioner. Right, but it looks like the space is more cramped, less room to work in. How do the lines go into the proportioners, or do I need to replace those? WARNING: I'm a total car newbie, don't be surprised if I ask a stupid question! Just trying to learn.

adallak Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 how do the lines connect up with the proportioning valves? by means of fittings, just like they are connected, say to the hydraulic modulator of the ABS.
