rylee144 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I'm pulling the rear axle today and have the brake lines to go. Oh man are they rusty. I hit it with some PB blaster and I'm letting that sink in. My question is are there specific ones to disconnect that I'll need later when I add the 8.8 or just pull them all and get new ones. The line that goes into the drum, does that simply unscrew or do I need to remove the drum cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I would say to just get new ones so you never have to worry about it. If your 8.8 has disk brakes, you'll need new parking brake cables anyway. I'm also not sure if the axle end of the softline is the same for an 8.8. Get yourself some copper/nickel brake line and put it on the axle before installing, then you just have to attach the top end of the softline when you put the axle in. It's much easier to run the new brake lines with the axle out of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
