I did a couple of searches but didn't turn up what I needed.
I've got a 2001 XJ with an RE Super-Flex 3.5in lift.
Figured out the brake line going from front to rear on driver side had a leak in it. Brakes still "work" but performance has decreased. So I figured I'd just take it to the shop because it seemed like a simple job and I didn't think it would cost much.
So I drove it up to the shop sat around for about 30 minutes. Mechanic rolls in and gives me a quote. 405 BUCKS! :shocked:
Quote said parts for all brake lines would be about 60 bucks and the fittings 40 so 100 bucks. Then labor for 250. He also said the job was difficult and said I needed to change out the brake lines starting from the master cylinder back.
I just told him I'd take it home.
So what sizes do I need to do this? I feel like I can probably do this if I can change out a radiator. Haven't done brakes in awhile though. How much time am I looking at to replace the one faulty line. I could do the other lines too. But I have hard time believing the brake lines from the RE kit would have gone bad and need replacing right now. It's been less than a year since I put the kit on.
Let me know where I need to get started. Until then I'll just keep pouring brake fluid in it. :repair:
