Replacing rear brakelines after SOA..........size question.

[JeepNewb]

Anyone know the fitting size on the rear of the D35 for the steel brakeline?? i'm about to make some new custom bent lines now that i've finished my SOA and wanted to see if anyone knew right off hand before i take them off.

I think the thread is a 5/16 NF something or other, but on my 88, I need three different wrenches to bleed the brakes :dunno:

 

and or a vice grips. Point is, pretty sure of the NF being 5/16 but the size of the nut fitting could vary.

 

can't you just use your old fittings with new steel line? Unless the fitting is messed up/stripped they are reusable.
