Where to get new S13 hatch brake hard lines???

[Space Monkey]

Hey guys,

I have searched around but i can not find anywhere that sells replacement hard-lines for the brakes. The hard-lines that come from the MBC and go to each wheel well. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

advanced auto parts, pep boys, some autozones.

hope you arent changing all the lines? I speak from experience, worst thing ever. lol. I was like hey might as well because they would strip so easy and whatnot. Lesson learned.

you're not going to find pre-bent hard lines. you'er going to have to get straight lengths and bend them yourself. which is going to suck, really, really bad.

yea, i thought it was gonna be a walk in the park. Took me some time to get them right and to make sure everything was tight.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the reply's. Here are my issues:

1) i have napa and lordco here in Canada... and they both suck a lot!

2) My current lines are rusted to the MBC and soft lines. I cant get them off even with the fitted wrench. (break wrench)

3) I will need to run new ones no matter what.

4) How do i bend them myself without breaking them or weakening them at all?

5) Anyone know how much they are usually?

they make tools for bending hard lines



and the lines themselves are pretty cheap. i forget how much i paid last time, but it wasn't much at all. take a piece of wire and run it along all the hard lines you want to replace to measure what lengths you need. get the new lines and do your best to bend them to match the old lines.

That does not sound that bad at all. So last thing is to find somewhere that sells the hard lines in Canada! Thanks guys!
