I just received the hard brake line kit from AA. It comes with the Center Tunnel line. I am thinking of replacing that also. Has anyone else done this? How is the best way without cutting into the metal.
Thank you |

Not a difficult job. The center tunnel brake line is actually two parts...with a connector under the rear tunnel inspection port.
I was able to replace mine without any help...it was advisable to have someone in the car to "snake" the line toward the passenger side of the tunnel...was no issue for me. At the time, I had my front suspension and steering rack removed when I fed the new line in from the front...not sure how big a difference that was. The smaller rear brake line was a little trickier based on the bends in the line. Overall. about a 2 hour job. |
