Step by step brake line replacement.
I'm going to use this thread to do a step by step brake line replacement.
I will be using pictures, and use as much detail in my text as I possibly can. I hope this will contribute to the community as a whole as I see more and more people having issues with their SVX's. However, I do not know how to replace them, I think this will be a good place for us to come together and learn and teach. Also I will not have the brake lines until I get the money this saturday. Okay, let's have some fun! |

Re: Step by step brake line replacement.
I will follow along and will put together a How-To and put it there.

Re: Step by step brake line replacement.
I'm ordering the parts today. Sorry for the long delay, a lot has come up in the past week or so. They should be here soon and I can try and document this whole process.

Re: Step by step brake line replacement.
I got the brake lines today. All I need is for someone else to help guide me through this and I can take pictures and detail the process with any problems or "Good to know" tips.
Thanks guys, I hope this thread will help people in the future as I will make another thread that is only the repair process and not just the learning process for me. |

Re: Step by step brake line replacement.
Okay. I got one done for practice. I'm super frustrated though, God damn that took a lot out of me. Although I do know how to get the others done and I will take pictures, the rear brake caliper didn't unfreeze as I had hoped. Also the brake(!) light comes on, but I have a hunch it's because almost all the brake fluid is drained out.

Yay. I have some steel lines that i have been sitting on since last fall.
Told myself I would do them "during summertime". What, end of June already?

Re: Step by step brake line replacement.
Thanks for the tip. I'll replace that caliper too and maybe do another how to on that as well.

Re: Step by step brake line replacement.
Okay, I am in a really bad mood. I can't get the brakes to even work now. I would have took pictures but I couldn't get it right and didn't want to waste people's time.
The real issue now is what the **** do I do? I haven't been able to drive for sometime and it's really becoming and issue for me. I need to drive and I'm out of options. The brake pedal goes to the floor and the car absolutely does not stop when pressed down, not even a little. Any ideas? |
