travgag Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I have a really bad rear brake line leak, and its commign from ontop of the gas tank on the driver side, i got the flex hose coupling disconnected and the bleeder valve open, which is good, and i dont know what line it is under the passengers side coupler for the drivers side line, is the the one closer to the tank or outer ? because i dont want to change both right now, and only ave supplies for the one side heres a video of a guy online, looks like this 4 minutes and 20 second [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynWwJiuHmLE]1995 Subaru Legacy - brake hard line repair - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travgag Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 allright so was going to try to just change the one side and couldnt get the one side of the coupler and ended up bending it a bit and both of the lines were leaking, now to do like the video and splice it in the car, is it okay to put a coupling under the seat, then another to get to the drivers side, since i don't think one 60'' piece will make it. and it doesn't matter what line goes to what caliper ?

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted November 17, 2011 I Donated Share Posted November 17, 2011 It matters what line goes to what caliper because of your ABS -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

travgag Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 You sure ? i though abs was maybe just front and back ? or not even just overall brakes, and not individual calipers, i guess il try to pull out some lines and see what went where, its because they both go above the gas tank and the come back down, but im assuming its left = left right = right, because if not they would have to hope over eachother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 You sure ? i though abs was maybe just front and back ? or not even just overall brakes, and not individual calipers Nope. ABS does each wheel individually. That way you get as much traction as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travgag Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 no way, kool allright il have to figure it out ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yeah. I dunno how everything works but I would think if you crossed the lines, then when the speed sensor sensed the wheel was sliding, it would start pulsing the wrong wheel, so you'd have one wheel locked up on ice and one wheel not braking thinking it was on ice. So basically it would turn ABS from something useful to something incredibly dangerous, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travgag Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yea ! big time dangerous, youd be better off disabling ABS theres no diagrams on the net to show you which ones go were, il just have to find them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want it to send those pulses to the wrong wheel. That would be no good. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
