I got rusted brake lines and need to replace the one on the rear passenger side. Looking to find a diagram of the path this line runs from the rear to the master cylinder. Google search turned up zip. Was surprised that this information was not in the Chilton manuals or the Haynes repair book. Can anyone help with this?

Yeah. Unfortunately, there are not many diagrams about brake line routing.

Basically, this is something that is left to the mechanic to route properly.

Normally the hard lines are all preformed so there is not much guess work. They pretty much just fall into the placement that they need to be in due to having them pre-formed.

I am including the diagram below that will show the routing of the line but not how it is routed on the frame.

Please view the info and let me know if you have other questions. Thanks
