96 Sebring Conv JX 2.5L .. I have to replaced all fuel and brake lines, might as well do them both while Im in there ... as you can see .. not looking pretty under thar ... the dealer wants to charge me by the hour, $86 an hour. "Yeah, right .. pass the crack pipe !!" Anyway .. I could use tips from the folks who have done it before ...

I know that I will need a double flaring tool, bending tool, Steel tubing, pressure fittings, plenty o WD40 / PB Blast ... patience patience patience ... I will be doing this on my back on the driveway using hydrualic jacks and jack stands or maybe drive on ramps if they buy me some room. I did pick one tip that is - use a roll of solder to create a template for the new pipe. Pretty smart ..

The biggest problem I have is not knowing how stuff is routed in the engine compartment .. where Ill start and how to remove fuel pressure. I read my Chiltons but dont get it ...

Any input would be helpfull.

Thanks

not much as far as techional stuff to it like u said it will take some time. Yeah the dealer will charge u up the butt because its a nasty job all the tubes come stright u haft to custom fit each line from front to back.

 

Hey Chry. Tech .. would you happen to know what size the brake line and fuel line is / are ?

 

does not say but i have a part number for dealer use if u buy it from the dealer they can look it up ne way.

TUBE, Steel, .187 25 this is all of the description that they have bulk hose

 

Ok tks. Actually, my neighbor is the parts manager at one of the local Dodge dealers. I asked him if he could look up and order prebent brake and/or fuel lines. He told me the same thing, I would need to purchase the 25' roll - Ill probably get it from NAPA and save lots, and he does have the supply fuel line but the return is disconnected. He went on to tell me that the techs in the garage use fuel line hose for the return. So thats what sumncguy is going to do. I ordered the fuel supply, will replace the return with hose. Unfortunately, I will need to bend all the brake lines. Oh well .. at least my job is cut down substantially.
Im going to start soaking those connection points with PB Blast or maybe even Kroil .. one other question I did have ... whats all this stuff Im reading about an access point for the fuel pump under the passenger rear seat ... is it true ? Im going to pull the back seat tomorrow and check ...

Thanks for the help
