pre-shaped line from master cylinder

[seth959ci]

is there a pre shaped line that goes from the master cylinder to the block located on the frame(i think its there) on a 89 2.3 ranger? the line just blew right before it screws into that block.

Bending brake lines is a snap...the first time I did it I went out and bought a tube bender...but then I realized they can be bent with your hands and it's a bit less work...just don't crimp them and you'll be fine...

Oh, and always remember to put the fittings on before you flare the lines...lol...left them off a few times...

yeah i did it the other day.. pretty easy. now just gotta get time to bleed the brakes and check for leaks

I used a one-man bleeding kit that worked out really well...once I sealed up all the wonky connections I made...at least three of my connections were leaking...really, really small leaks that I couldn't see too well...had to tie clean blue rags around one to find it was leaking...and that's a neat trick if they don't bleed properly...but there are quite a few connections...just tighten them well the first time and make sure the flares are good to seal...

Oh, and I used teflon tape on mine...it's not really needed but it can be the difference between an almost leak and a good seal sometimes...
