So I finally got the extended rear brake line in today for my RE lift.
I ended up doing all new line as it looked pretty unsafe, and the old soft line was siezed to the hard line running along the chassis.
I had to ghetto rig something up with zip ties to prevent the lines from bouncing around too much, as the 'mating point' of the old hard line along the frame and the old rubber line is still there, siezed and all. I could have used propane heat on it, but the fuel line is really close, so yea, I'm not going to risk that, thank you very much.
With all new lines out back, it's time to bleed the brakes. I decide to loosen up the front bleeders first, and I broke one.
I'll swing by the parts store for an easy out tonight on the way to work, but does anyone else have a better idea? Matt

Talked to Nick, and how we fixed it was we just bought a new wheel cylinder. He thought that they were around $10. So we just put a new wheel cylinder in and fixed the whole thing and didn't have to worry about it again.

I miss the days that they made toys that could kill a kid.

this was on a front wheel... $22 each for the 'good' calipers at Napa after core return.
