1988 Jeep Wrangler 4 cylinder Complete brake system failure Replacing everything Master cylinder Proportioning valve All brake lines

All old brake components removed from the jeep Installing replacement stainless steel brake lines from 4WD hardware nice kit Anyone done this before???? Need any hints or tips on how to install new brake line that goes from proportioning valve to the rear brake line Had to cut old line to allow removal of this old line This line has quite a few bends to it.

Afraid to ask how much stuff has to be removed to allow installation of this line Anyone know a good contortionist???

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated

Hmmm......

I don't know if it is possible to do from the bottom. It is easy with the body tub out of the way.....

I am thinking you at least will need a hoist so you have room to maneuver the line.

If you have to bend the line, I recommend one of those coil spring benders so you don't kink it. They thread over the line end slowly, then slide along to where you need to bend and keep the lines round. Auto parts shops sell them and plumbing supply shops sell them.
