Guest Kitskaboodle Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 The ABS/Hydraulic pump unit was replaced before on my 90by a previous mechanic. As you can see from the pic, he messed upthe middle brake line so he had to "splice in" a section of tubing.You can see part of the brass fitting in the pic.Anyways, you can also see in the pic that the brake line hole size forthe middle line is quite a bit smaller in diameter. For those who havedone this job before....is this the correct size?? I'm hoping my previousmechanic did not use the wrong sized brake line for the splice job he did.Your input?

DAVES89 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Look at the line below the splice, if it is larger and I am sure that it is, the job was done incorrectly. I believe all three lines are the same diameter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simplyconnected Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 He used 3/16" but I wouldn't take issue with that... Look at the end of his flare! The hole is all closed up. I would be suspicious of the other end, too.Take the line off at the connector, bring it to your bench, and drill the openings. Then wash it out good, using brake fluid or alcohol.Hope this helps. - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
