Brake Hose Replacement

I will be replacing my brake calipers on my 87 soon and I wanted to replace the brake hoses while im at it. Ill be replacing both front hoses and I believe there is one in the back. Auto parts store mentions two; one in center and one in passenger rear. Which one would I need and is there a specific order in which these hoses are replaces and If so do I bleed the air our of each hose right after replacing it or do I replace all then just bleed in the normal sequence; rear pass, rear driver, front pass, front driver?

Re: Brake Hose Replacement

One in the pass rear is for disc only, which your car almost certainly didn't come with.

Yes that is the correct bleeding order. Equally important however, is that you DO NOT want to let the MC run dry during the process!!! You CANNOT get the air back out of it while it's on the car, if that happens. Check it often while the system is open (lines removed etc.), and keep it topped off.
