How hard is it to replace the front passenger hard brake line on an 89? Is it simple as unbolt and slide out the old hard line and slide in the new line? Or do you have to take a bunch of things off? The nut on the hard line going to the brake hose is siezed and rounding off.

 

it goes underneath the engine and is bolted to the k-member IIRC , there's enough clearance to get a new one in.

The only thing that matters is if you have patience to bend your own or buy pre-bent.

 

I'd buy prebent. Way too many bends to fool with. Plus I'd know it was bent right and had the right fittings on it.

The driver side broke free easily and has the original hose on it. The passenger side's hose was replaced a few years ago, but for some reason the hard line is now siezed to it. I was going to replace it again since I was going to replace the original driver side hose. But I may just bolt the passenger side hose back down, check for leaks, and replace the driver side hose. Then maybe fool with the passenger side later if there are no leaks since it appears the hose is still good.

Just wanted to see how much of a pain it was to replace the passenger hard line, but it looks like there is room to slip it in/out without removing things.
