I am just about to do this for my brother's '01 f150. The tip about the blow dryer/heat gun (on low), & using snap ring pliers to spread the plastic holders is well worth the price paid for the video. Thanks.
I am doing a 1992 F150 and I am just starting. I sprayed all connection points with PB Blaster and let it sit for a few days. Then I cut the center rubber hose in two and unscrewed that vent screw with my fingers. I considered myself lucky.
Amazing video! Much appreciated. I may hang on to my truck after watching your well informed and put together video. Can you tell me where you ordered your brake line kit from and an avg price? I have a 1997 F150 4.6 4x4 but I'm sure the job is similar if not identical for both yrs. Thank you
Just had the same thing happen to mine. Leaking from that clip on right side of rear axle. If you just want to change that one piece of line it's part number BRTR66 from Ford. I just ordered it, should be here tomorrow so I can try to fix it myself. Thank you for the video.
hello sir and good day from the rust belt. I was just wondering if your truck was a 2 door or a four door. I'm gonna order the kit and chage the upflow stream line. didn't know if there may be a size difference in length. mine is a 02 f150 lariat 4 door. 5.4
I had the same thing with mine. I made the caliper hoses work but they were not a direct fit. I did the front lines a year later and the long one was impossible to fit. I ended up buying some bulk copper nickel to finish that line.
I'd call it center hose to brake line bracket. I didn't replace that on my job so I don't how you would source that. I would go to O'Reilly or Napa or your favorite store and have them pull up an exploded parts view and find it that way.
I found this one on Amazon. Napa sells the same kits but at a higher price. I think I used Dorman's web site to ID the proper kit for my 2000 F150 with rear discs.
I ended up making my own Line. No one had them not even lmc. I bought the line and a tubing bender from AZone. Then I used the old line as a template. I also used a pipe cutter to cut length and a flanger to flange/flair the other end.
I have a 1998 F150, Extended Cab, RWD, with rear drum brakes. Will this kit (919-170) fit that truck? I'm having a hard time finding anything that fits on Amazon. Even the local dealership said I had to "make them myself".
I think I used the cross reference on Amazon to identify the correct kit. NAPA came up with same kit though for more $$$$. My 2000 F150 is similar to yours, except it is 4WD with rear disc brakes. The box is 6 feet. It might be a gamble to try that kit, but I guess you could send it back. Good luck and I hope this helps.
@@TheOriginalMechanic Based on what you mentioned, I went to Napa's website. I then cross-referenced their part number and found out that the one for my truck is 919-229. It arrived yesterday and I already started installation today. Perfect fit. Thanks for the advice!
Damn. What a headache changing a brake line. My 2001 expedition line leaking near that bracket fitting on passenger rear. I just wanna cut about 3" and change to a braided flex line back to the bracket..can that work?
There are many ways to fix a brake line. Sometimes it seems they built the car around the brake lines. But you should use an inverted flare union at the splice and that can be tricky. There are videos out there...

Good luck with the job and thanks for the great comment!
fantastic effort. gives me hope
Thanks for this video. It helped me a ton

That was more than luck. Nice work

You're welcome. I would have done the same had the long line from front to back not been rotted out too. Should be an easy fix for you.
My 01 has the passenger side from split to wheel that’s leaking, is that what you’re talking about? Like a little 3’ maybe pipe replace ?

It's the extended cab with the 4 doors. Not the full size (which is crew cab, I believe) but the short half doors that open opposite from the front.
Nice clear video...The Dorman kit I got for a 2002 F150 did not come with the center hose, and the caliper hoses are 2 different sizes in length. Odd.
I had the same thing with mine. I made the caliper hoses work but they were not a direct fit. I did the front lines a year later and the long one was impossible to fit. I ended up buying some bulk copper nickel to finish that line.
@@matt8863 I'm not usually that fast. Thanks for subbing. Happy New Year to you too!
I cannot find one that fits my 1994 f150 sport. Any suggestions?
How do you find out what kit to buy for your ford f150
great video ! thanks so much for the post !
cooley pope you're welcome and thanks for watching!
Is there a part number for the very last line you took out that you know of? I only need that one not the whole kit
There may be out rhere somewhere, but not from the seller of this kit. Dealership?
What is the bracket you had to chizzle on because my bracket is broke

I wonder how much that line kit costed. I'm guessing around $200. I make my own lines for cheap. CoNic is the way to go.
The kit cost $125. I too like copper nickel but I don't enjoy flaring the ends.
where did you order your kit from? I can't seem to find the kit for a 1996 Ford F150 302 4x4 (rear drums)

J. Velez and A. Tellez You're welcome. Glad to hear it worked out for you.
Where did you get kit from?
Amazon. My local NAPA also carried it but for fifty bucks more.
how do i order the kit 919 170 i need that part number but dorman wont let me order it from there website
Where do you buy this brake lines? Im from Norway, so I need shipping 😁
I bought the kit from Amazon. It's a Dorman kit.
Thanks man😊
You dropped the fuel tank????
No, I did not. The spare tire was the only thing I had to drop (for head room to work).
2 wd or 4 wd?
4wd
Привет из России! :)
Mine got contaminated by engine oil. And swelled up

It's cheaper to replace the entire section.
