I got the OEM master cylinder coming in tomorrow, and I will replace that after I do the timing belt (which I start today)
I'm doing the oil cooler fittings and orings, hoses, all the timing belt stuff, tensioner and everything, gunna swap the brake boosters too, new check valve going in, and the little hold down bracket.
Gotta go to junkyard tomorrow and get the hard lines for the front brakes. the fittings are were fubar'ed someone tightened the flare nuts down too much and they were expanded and not going back into the new rubber fitting ends.
on the plus side my mechanic knowledge is growing exponentially lol and I love learning so it is what it is. I just hope no one has to go through this pain and suffering on here like me lol |
Actually, this is typical of buying a used rig with people wrenching on it that shouldn't be. :{ I have seen many oh boy repairs in the past.
If you cant find the brake lines at a junk yard. You can use the napa japan ones

Front hard brake line into caliper leaking - please help!
From a"mainerunner"
"All you need is an 8" piece of brake line from any parts store that is 3/16"X 10mm-1.0 inverted flare. It's just a 3/16" brake line with metric thread AKA Japanese style brake line "
I didnt have the length in my notes 8 inch.
I used a ni cu line from Napa worked great
