i ordered a new set of brake line extensions from rustys about a week ago and they should be here by this weekend. ive read on here that people often times have some trouble installing them. anyone down to give a hand with the whole bleeding process and what not this weekend. i really need to get them on there cause my stopping power has gone to the birdies since i went up again.

i might be in need of a flexplate swap in the near future as well as my knocking noise has gotten much louder at start up. once i figure out how to check it to see if thats the problem (which im hoping it is cause if its the engine im in trouble) i might need some help with that too, but for nows its stopping that im worried about. usual insintives apply (beer and pizza).

 

I might be able to help, but I am not familiar with ABS and that pic below your sig makes it hard to talk to you.

 

Pull your inspection plate off and look for cracks And do you have ABS? if you do you might want to switch over. I`ve heard there not good in the woods.

 

Yeah I know it does for you. If you help though Ill take it down for a day> ONE day! lol

 

Yeah I have abs, theyre better on the road arent they?

 

If you want to come to everett I will lend a hand

 

Hey man i have this next tues, wends, thurs off i can give you a hand with the brakes if your free any of those days. Let me know.

 

anyone know how to do them with the abs?

 

i thought i showed you?......

















or maybe it was something else?...

 

Maybe im an idiot but isnt bleeding the brakes the same with or with out abs?

 

yeah im pretty sure it is but i think there is extra stuff down there on our newer ones that isnt on the ones wthout abs. like that weird bracket that goes around the shock

 

has anyone found a good write up on how to bleed and install these things? i dont have a computer anymore so im stuck doing this from my phone so some help would be awesome here

 

Are you free tues, wends, or thursday? I have a 2000 xj and have installed stainless steel extended brake lines on the front and rear of mine. I will come over and give you a hand if you want. There is nothing to it.

 

im not sure. my house got robbed this weekend and ive been devoting an insane amount of time to trying to deal wth that. ihave to start some training on wednesday, but might be able to around 4pm on wednesday afternoon. i went out to look at it yesterday morning and i just have no clue how it works in the back. the front looks pretty standard but the back not so much. im gonna see if i can borrow a camera from someone (again all my stuf got stole) and try to post some pics of it and the brake lines i got. iwill do this tonight and hope for the best with wednsday

 

Ok sounds good. The rear is pretty simple. You should have a brake line that comes down off of the body and then into a block on top of the rear axle. That is the line you will be changing out. Pretty easy.
