Re: Broken brake line

Go to the parts store and buy one... even AZ and Advance and such have sticks of brake line in about 10" length increments with the flare nuts on them.

IIRC, I used In-Line Tubes for my rear lines. I ran into the same problem of finding only kits on the website, so I called them up and special ordered just the rear lines I needed over the phone. I would imagine that the other sites JamesC linked would do the same.

Re: Broken brake line

they're usually pretty dead on for the originals, so installation's not bad. just remove the mounting screws for the lines (shared with the fuel and evap lines on the driver side) and remove. i found it was much easier to start from the front of the vehicle (from the engine bay) with it off the ground and pull through from underneath. lots more stuff in the engine bay to fight with than under the rest of the car
