I was trying to change my drum pads and the caliber. but when I was putting the new caliber on I noticed it looked like the fitting on the lower brake line was almost all the way rounded off. Now I cant get the fitting on tight enough so it keeps leaking. it's the rear right drum... so it's the line that comes from the left rear drum. it's like an aluminum line and it looks like the line is fed through some kind of axle sheild. Dose anyone know of any place where I can get that brake line. or am I going to have to make another trip to the junk yard?

I would recomend taking that line off, go to your local parts store, get a peice of strait line (about 1$ per foot) and a line bender and copy the one you took off, I blew the line going from the proportioning block to the rear axle and thats what i had to do, also saves you the trouble of finding a good one in a junk yard, as Brakes=safety I would make your own. Good Luck!
