Please run down these guides and report back.

I have a 2000 Silverado, while replacing a rotted brake line from master cylinder to ABS module all of the front lines desintergrated above frame. I cannot tell which line ran to which port. I need to know brake line routing for the 4 brake lines from front of vehicle to ABS module. Fifth line to rear is no problem, (upper right, if looking from front of module) as it is already replaced. Thanks for any info.

Hi rjvries,

I have to replace my brake lines from the front of the ABS unit because they have rusted where they leak. I was told by a repair shop they wanted $95.00/hour to do this. I am a instrument repair guy and have bent miles of copper, ss, steel impulse lines. So I bought the tubing $30.00, tools $150.00, fittings $20.00 and I am ready to kink some tube! I will draw a diagram of what the routing is and post it. I am spreading this job over two weeks. Remember good work takes time.

I also had to replace the front brake lines because one failed and the others were ready to fail.
I made a sketch of the junction block on the drivers side near mid vehicle.

Looking from vehicle front to rear, here is the layout:
There are three connections along the top. From left to right, the connections are front left wheel, front right wheel, and the connector near left rear wheel that serves both rear wheels. The bottom two connections go to the master cylinder. The left connection goes to the rear master cylinder connection and the right connection goes to the front master cylinder connection.

Good luck, this is not a fun job.
Remember that the end flare connections to the vehicle must be double flares.

To kayak11, thank you very much for the posting. I had to do the same job and it helped in the end. For those of you doing this job. Do not use steel line, if possible use copper or have custom stainless steel lines done. Also, plan on raising the cab off the frame by 1 1/2 inches on the left. Also raise the bed three inches as well. This will make it easier to route the lines by the frame. The stainless steel lines were custom bent and little difficult to run but in the end it is well worth it. Have fun!

My lines going from the abs unit up to the 2 front brakes are rusting away, I want to buy a coil of steel brake line and replace them, I cant tell if there 1/4" or 3/16"? Or some thing else, they are to rusted to get an accurate measurement,
thanks,
scott

I have a tubing bender and double flair tool, thanks for the response

Does the gas tank have to be removed to get to the brake line and connections to the rear brakes? I have a line leaking and can only barely see it between the frame and the gas tank

I'm replacing rusted brake line from the rear to the front. Is there anyway to find out what lengths of line I need. I'm a big guy so once I get on the ground under the truck I want to have the line already. The line goes from the axle up to the bottom of the firewall at the front of the truck. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you, P.
Oh, my truck has extended cab and 8 foot bed.
