Long ass brake line

[fomoco01]

The long brake line along frame, feeding rear brakes, sprung a leak. The leak is back by lr tire. After inspecting entire line there is some serious corrosion all the way up to about the firewall. I searched this forum and got a little info but Id like to be specific on whats my best option. Is the only way to fix it by buying the line and bending it yourself? I figure I should replace entire line. From what I read it will probably be 2 lines. Does someone sell a kit? I geuss I should mention Its My 91 CV

I am not aware of any aftermarket prebent lines. So, that leaves you with buying line and bending it yourself.

I would buy it in 3 pieces and get couplers to join them. Trying to bend and test fit the whole thing in one would drive me mad. I dont know how scott does it!
The front and rear of the line have the funny bends - from the proportioning valve down to the front end of the frame rail could be one piece, coupled to one long piece with just a few bends in the middle, then a medium sized line from the rear frame rail and up over the axle.
Its a tight bend up there at the proportioning valve and you have to sneak it between the frame and body but its doable.

Thanks for the info guys. Now I have to ask do you need to get some sort of pipe bender or can you bend it by hand? Im thinking the 3 line route might be best for me and my sanity.

You can do it by hand but you run the risk of kinking the line. You can either use something like a spray can to bend around, or go buy a cheap bender.

yeah that 1st bend out of the prop valve is really short and tight. you can get a cheap bender for a few bucks.
