97 Explorer Front Brake Line

[tigertail222]

Hi, this may sound dumb, but here goes anyway! The front passenger side brake line needs to be replaced, does this line go to the proportioning valve, or does it just go from the ABS module straight to the disc brake? The other question is how to route it through all the 4x4 that is at the front of the truck? Thanks to the member who had an ABS diagram showing at least some of where the lines are routed.
Thanks,
Cheers, Mike

On my '96, the brake line tubing runs from the ABS module to a bracket next to the passenger side wheel where the flexible hose starts that attaches to the brake caliper. When I replaced my line, following the old line was just not possible so I just tucked it up around non-moving front end parts and added a couple plastic ties to keep it there. Good luck.

Thank you

Thank you for the reply, and I did like you did. I routed my brake line from the ABS module through the top and front of the engine bay. Took me about 2 hours to make and install it. Then the bleed. I used Fluid Film penetrant on the old fittings and they came off fairly easily. Thanks so much for sharing.
Cheers,
Mike
