lobotomy Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hey guys, getting some help to change my brake lines on sat -- was just wondering how the braided set changes the rear 4 lines into just 2 lines? Can anyone clear this up for me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Lobo from what I know, its 4 rear lines for the back, 2 normal rear and an extra 2 if using abs.You'll need someone who has done it to confirm that. I recommend you ask Starlet_Nath as he is in the know and will confirm you will need 6 if using with rear abs.Here's my rears:I have 2 on rear, one for each drum. You'll see kits like APP and ZEP has sets of 4 & 6.My black diamond set was a set of 6 also so it figures.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Ah -- Well I've got ABS. But my braided lines kit only consist of 4 hoses -- 2 front and 2 rear (I assume)So will I only replace 2 of the 4 rear lines in actual fact? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Yes mate, you'll only be replacing the normal rears and not the abs ones.I recommend you pm starlet nath and get things cleared up.He's a helpful and sound chap.Joz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I've done it a few times, yea just use the longer hoses at the back and substitute the 2 for one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest daveburwash Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 The one new hose at the rear replaces 2 rubber hoses and a short metal pipe. Thats if its my hoses ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted April 28, 2007 Author Share Posted April 28, 2007 Yeah it's your hoses Dave Yeah my mate who's showing me what to do says it's similar for the ST185 GT4 when changing to braided lines, so I should hopefully be ok.I'll let you know how it goes though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
