What do you have to do to change the brake line going to the rear wheels of a 1999 jeep grand Cherokee Laredo?

Answer 1

There are 3 to worry about, 1 from the master cylinder to the rear frame, in this case you'll probably need 2 pieces, 6 feet is about the longest I have seen at the auto parts store so measure the distance and buy 2 pieces and a union, 1/4 inch line and 3/8ths fitting.

From there loosen and remove the fittings and pop the line out of the retainers on the frame, bend and tighten the MC end first and pop it into the retainers as you go all the way back to the rear frame, there is a bracket back there to hold the fitting tight, bend the tube to make it reach this bracket.

The next piece is a flex line, and it is held to the bracket with a clip, remove the clip and slide the fitting out, disconnect it from the line at the rear axle and replace.

Next is the line going from the left rear to the right rear, it is bent and routed through 2 brackets on the axle so try to match these bends, as well as the bends at either end, this one will need to be measured pretty accurately.

connect the lines to the cylinders open the bleeder at the rr wheel and pump fluid through until you get a good stream, now proceed with normal bleeding.
