i replaced my rear brake lines that was attached to the differential and the 4 hoses there. during that time, i bought the toyota brake lines and 4 hoses and saved me a lot on labor. the most difficult part is when i removed the brake lines, i had to remove the flaking rust from the differential, wire brushed it and painted it also. i can understand why the mechanic declined working on it. it takes a lot of labor doing that work unless you pay them real good to do it right for you, otherwise it will be done quickly and you will surely be unhappy about it.

i took my time removing the rust, rear bumper and painted it. maybe i spent like 2 weeks of my time after work or on weekends.
