rear brake line (form frame)

[wraenking]

ok, im going to take off the rubber hose in the rear that comes from the hard line at the frame (near gas tank) and it is not moving. i pbed it for 2 weeks, and just tried heat and still nothing. does the rear extended hose have to be used?


if so, can i use the stock one i cant get off until i get it to a brake place. most likely will have to be cut and re flared. i have a flaring tool, but if you look under your k5, there isnt any room there to flare.


help!!

thanks

i cut mine off and flared it, it was pretty easy, just take of one of the clamps that hold the line to the frame it will pull out a little bit and give you alot more room

i'll help ya tommorrow with it. got line wrenchs?

yeah. but they actually rounded the nut too. it must be the rustiest spot on the truck

i cleared it and removed the strap to fcut and flare it, but its a 1/4" line, not 3/16"


ill get the right fitting in the morning and hopefully have it done before you get here so we can concentrate on the brakes.

thanks guys
