Re: Rear Brake Line is Leaking :( does car have to be complety lifted?

It's a huge ***** of a job. You don't need the front wheels off the ground technically, but you're going to have to lift the rear quite high. The proper way to replace that line is to remove the fuel tank, which means removing the driveshaft, exhaust, getting to the fuel pump under the rear seat....

Or you could do like the previous owner of my car. The lines run under the rear seat and then out of the car. He spliced it there and just sort of monkeyed the line around the subframe to the flex hoses, didn't even remove the old line.

And now that I think about it, you're probably going to want to take the front wheels off to bleed the brakes anyway.
