My rear brake line is rusted and leaking above the rear axle (stinkin' road salt).
I read the threads, it doesn't look like too bad a job, so I'm going to fix it myself. I understand that the brake line is 3/16 with SAE fittings. My Ex is a 92 with only the rear ABS (RABS), so I only need to replace the line up to the RABS valve, which is located on the frame rail.
Question: I understand that the brake components are Bosch and therefore use metric fittings. Can anyone confirm that the lines are SAE but the RABS valve fittings are metric?
I need to know if I should buy metric and English flare nut wrenches.
Also, any suggestions on what length lines to buy?
Thanks.
