850 Rear Brake lines 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Yuri on  Mon Oct 31 10:28 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I had the same problem with the front line. I ended up taking the car to a shop, and they simply cut the line some 3-4" from the nut and extended it with a new piece (with a correct flare nut). They used a usual union coupler with o-rings. The final result looks and works very well. I would do this myself next time.
The shops have brake repair kits and hardware, and most of them are familiar with the job.

Replacing the whole line would be a major pain.
