I own a 95 Eagle Talon AWD. I have a problem with the main master brake lines, they are leaking.

Luckily i noticed the leak not driving the car, so i parked the car, and i have been looking around for was to fix the problem, but the only thing i can do is replace the lines.

The 2 lines running to the Rear Passenger Side tire are the 2 Main lines leaking.

No it is not the rubber lines behind the rotors, it is the actual Main Metal Brake Lines that are leaking.

So my questions are:

1. Can anyone recommend a site to go to, so i can order some new lines.
2. Can anyone recommend a site that sells Brake Lines for the Eclipse/Talon that are already bent?

3. Anyone know a guesstimate of what it would cost for a shop to replace them?

4. Anyone want to help me replace the lines? I'll throw in $$ and food and/or drinks.


Thanks

 

1. Dealer (most likely)

2. Dealer

3. If it you have to replace the entire line from front to back might be a little expensive from the dealer. Not too mention they are a pain to replace

4. Youre too far from me but others are closer to you.


where is the line leaking at? have you tried tightening the line?

 

it's leaking right about 6inches before the 1st bend near the rear passenger axle.

I've asked places in my area that do brake work for quotes, they say they can do it, but they can not give me quotes because they need to see where it's leaking and at what point they would need to replace the line at.

from what i can tell, unless i missed something the whole line would have to be replaced. I looked under the car and can not see any other points where fittings would be, meaning to me it looks like the master line is just one long metal line with bends at certain points under the car.

as far as tightening the line goes, that won't work, it's seems like a hole developed leak on the line and not a loose fitting leak. although i can not see a noticeable hole, but then again brake lines are high pressure so it would only take a needle tip hole for it to leak from.

 

yeah unfortunately the line is one piece and if its not a loose fitting problem,then the whole line will have to be replaced. But if you want to spend the money and do it yourself, you can buy brake tubing at the parts store.then you would have to buy a tube bender (if a bend is required,if not then you dont need it) and a flare tool for brakes,also a brake fitting kit.

 

any links come to mind for parts like that.


i've gone into advanced auto for the lines, and they sell them in 4ft sections, but they are not bent.

i've tried searching for brake lines and parts, but only stuff i get is the regular brake lines, those around the rotors.
