Replacing hard brake lines??
#16
Are the brake lines still available for Jeep? Any aftermarket places out there who make pre-formed sets?
My '99 is ready for all new lines and woudl prefer a prebent set if able.
Cant seem to find any doing searches however, hopefully someone here will have a lead.
Many thanks,
Larry S.

If you're still looking, I got mine from the dealer. $54 or so. The install was pretty straightforward.

subscribing because i need this line. Mine looked questionable when i was installing the lift. There was also a short line from a box to the fuel tank that looked to be in the same condition. There isnt any rust under my jeep except for those two line... they look really bad.

This is it. The cupro-nickel stuff is more corrosion resistant than stainless steel, and MUCH easier to work with. There are about 3 manufacturers, last I checked, and you can get it at most auto parts stores or online.

As for a flaring tool, if you can stand the price, there's none better than this:
VERY easy to use, and does just about every kind of flare.

I recommend the guy on Ebay selling complete sets.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/94-01-Jeep-Cherokee-Non-ABS-Complete-Brake-Line-Kit-Stainless-/251601997228?fits=Make%3AJeep%7CModel%3ACherokee&hash=item3a94a5cdac&vxp=mtr
They are stainless steel (because rust sucks) and pre-flared (because time is money). So much easier to install. But I hafta admit, I still found this job to be a pain in the butt. I can't imagine trying to do it and mess around with putting dozens of bends in a tiny pipe. It was hard enough trying to get the preflared line back into place. I am therefore very skeptical about the other posts on here, which seem to imply that this is a simple job, requiring only a spool of brake line and a flaring tool.
Ain't nobody got time for that!

I broke one trying to replace a leaky wheel cylinder last week. A pre-made line already in the right shape sounds a lot easier and faster than making your own.

Was just researching this topic. The link to ebay is still valid. Also factorychryslerparts.com sells them individually. And the proportioning valve. It's likely the stealership can still get them but probably more expensive.

Stainless steel and less expensive ($107) complete steel hard line kits are available from multiple vendors.
Spend the $ on the arteries of your braking system.
You will be happy you did.

I replaced my rear line with a straight pre-flared one, and it doesn't match the old bends, but I didn't even bother trying. It doesn't interfere anywhere, and it pushes fluid to my brakes, so its good. My engine is going to blow far before that thing needs another replacement.

I know this thread is outdated BUT I found a very easy and simple way to find your hard lines. Call the dealership and get the part number and then search that number online. I just bought a pass side hard line for my 2001. Everything is done bending and such only payed $32!! Website I used was www.moparpartsgiant.com
shilling is cheap and fairly fast
