1995 jeep cherokee sport rear right brake line.
I need to replace the rear right brake line on my 1995 Jeep Cherokee Sport. What is the correct length and size for an piece of brake tubing that I'm putting in myself. It would already have the fittings attached.

I've done it but don't remember. I'd just take a piece of string and run it along the axle tube like it would go. If you have to go one size longer you can get creative with looping it or whatever. Another 'trick' is to get a piece of brake line the next size larger diameter, and use a small segment of it as a splice ..and solder it with hi-strength solder, silver solder or braze. In the old days, it wasn't uncommon to see it on cars from the factory. I've seen it done a number of times and they don't fail. But usually it's quicker to just make a loop (if needed) with a single piece of line.

Old fart with a wrench
A lot safer too. I personally wouldn't trust a line that was spliced together. I doubt it would pass most states safety inspection either. Remember there could be up to 1000 lbs pressure in a brake line.

I have the same issue and I am hopefully going to get mine put in this weekend. I thought about making my own, however after buying the line and all the fun with bending and flaring. I decided to go this route.

Totally preformed lines for both sides with the spring protector. At $40 w/ free shipping it was kind of no brainer for me. I'm doing a total rear brake job since it looks like it has never been done on my XJ.
Hope this helps.
