Replacing Brake Lines on 87 Tercel 4x4 wagon
Has anyone replaced. We seem to have a leak and need to have them replaced. Just replaced the rear brake drums. Any suggestions

The 3 fuel/vent lines going to the back were also rusted...I've used lithium spray grease to keep them from getting worse.
Have since replaced the front calipers also. Plus new brake hardware in the back.

Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

This is one of those Have Fun endeavors...
While I did not have to on Goldie, I did all of the rear lines on my Dodge/Mitsu p'up a few years ago. Lots of pieces and unusual non-factory bends. Frustrating. Buy more than you need (so long as you can return unused pieces). How do I know?
Also - try to remove the OE lines intact to use as a sort of pattern.
Other than takza's efforts, I don't recall anyone else making a thread about this.
You might want to query a Toy dealer for OE lines - try Butler Toy in Indy. Bigga bucks if available, I'll wager.
Incidentally - take a fitting with you to the store - many, if not all, Japanese cars of the era used "different" fittings; I do not recall the difference, though (just wanted to forget it!).
