Replacing rear brake lines.

Whatta deal that was! Glad you got it fixed, did you ask the mechanic about the job, difficulty, tips, etc?

My wife took him the money so I did not have the chance to ask. They did have to get another line than what I gave them because mine had the wrong fittings, metric instead of american. I think I am going to have to bleed them again, I don't think they got all of the air out of the lines. Sometimes they are spongy until I pump it once. If you have access to a lift I think the work would be alot easier, but for me crawling under the car on the ground was not the way to go, especially in this weather. I count it as money well spent. Now for the door handle and possible starter problems. As far as the new fuel pump goes, I have been getting 21-22 MPG around here since I had it done. I am very pleased with that.

I finished up my rear lines yesterday. Cut the lines to get them out, had to use a bolt-out on one of the fittings.

All of the fittings were the same size, except one for the proportioning valve. It was a "M12x1.0 bubble thread" fitting. Had to go to AutoZone to pick that up.

Why do they do that?

WARNING: I'm a total car newbie, don't be surprised if I ask a stupid question! Just trying to learn.

Cheers!
