Re: Brake line scheme

If you are trying to do this repair yourself, which is why I assume you are asking, you should take the time to jack up the rear of the car and have a look at the brake lines to find out this information. By doing so you would notice that, like most vehicles of the time before 4 channel abs, the rear brake line splits at the axle and then to each rear wheel. If the right rear line is bad, the line originates and ends on the axle, it does not extend to the front of the car.

Sometimes its faster to actually look for the information you desire on the car itself than ask randomly on the internet. And hey, you might learn something.

Re: Brake line scheme

What I said before stands then. If you actually have 4 lines, one to each wheel, your brake system has been modified or you dont have the car you listed. Either case, there would be no way for anyone to tell you which line goes where.

Factory lines are 4.75mm with metric bubble flare fittings.
