Older Jeep brake lines
Brake lines on older Jeeps are often the original rubber units, and rubber hardens and cracks with age and heat. Replacing them with a stainless outer braid and a Teflon inner hose is a common step when a vehicle is lifted or driven off road, because the line is less exposed to abrasion and swelling. Any line that is replaced should match the brake system pressure and fittings already in use.
Before fitting, inspect the master cylinder fittings, the junction block and the caliper ends, since a new line will not fix a damaged fitting. Route the line away from the exhaust, frame edges and suspension pivots. After installation, bleed the system and confirm the line does not touch tires or moving parts through the full range of travel.
- Inspect the original fittings before replacing the line
- Keep the line clear of the exhaust and frame edges
- Bleed the system and confirm travel clearance after fitting
