Rear Hard brake line Question???
So both my rear wheel cylinders are leaking. The hard lines that screw into them that run along the diff are really rusted and after letting em soak for a day in PB it just ended with me snapping the line.
My question is what size tube line do I need?...5/16...or 3/8? I got new wheel cylinders at NAPA, but just want to know what size line to get so I can pick some up from advanced auto...Also if anyone knows the feet need for each line that would be great. The driver side line looks like 12 inches, and the passenger side maybe 36 or 40 inches

Take a small piece of the old line with you when you go to get new line.I usually just get a roll of line and use what I need of it. I bend the line as I go instead of trying to figure out an exact length.The rear lines are usually pretty simple to bend up but you usually wont be able to get the bends exactly as factory so leave your self extra .
