95 Cherokee Rear Brake Line Replacment

[@MofoJamie]

Great clear video, thank you so much!

[@anthonyzhang4918]

1995, manual, has floors, sweet jeep!

[@MajorWeakness]

You don't need to remove the axle to change the wheel cylinder do you?

[@ryanx9372]

Get the nickel-copper tubing. SO much easier, and well worth the extra cost. Fitting and longevity too

[@keithjessie2063]

Hey I have a 97 jeep grand cherokee I have a problem when I'm driving it it locks up the wheels while driving what could cause this I thought it may be a kinked line I had a blow out on it and when I got different tire on it took it down the road it now locks up while driving

[@luxstar4life]

I have a craftsman double flaring set that kicks ass. use it all the time.

[@kris.monroe]

What is the PVC looking tube/pipe setup on the front for? Simply curious. Thanks for this video! I'm in the process of replacing my break lines and you've provided a good deal of helpful info!

[@NickInTimeFilms]

[@LClark-oj9xv]

Thanks for the great video. Very nice to see this job in such detail.

[@ReodorF1]

Thanks for a great video i now have to change my rear brake sylinder they are leaking on my xj and my brakeline was really rusty so they have to be changed its Typically this happens when it is winter snow and could

[@susu-mi7kx]

I like you,... good sense of humor, a chick here about to do it myself. fingers crossed

[@DragonNerf]

Nick, the reason for the special fitting on the rear line is for ease of production. the rear line is all the same for abs and non abs models, all that changes is the little peice you removed from the prop valve. the abs is all metric bubble flares. thats why the special fitting.

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Good to know, thanks. Figured it had something to do with factory time savings.

[@justinh.2398]

Good to see a holy XJ still being used

[@DatKogasa]

How funny is that, I had to replace the rear brake line on my fathers 94 cherokee sport back in December, I ended up just ordering the whole brake line from moparpartsoverstock for 28 dollars (I know, I don't know how it was that cheap). But it is also very possible to remove wheel cylinders from Chrysler 8.25 axles if you wiggle them out right, I've done it quite a few times. Awesome work.

[@davidgillettuk9638]

I don't think I've ever seen a servo so rusty. If you're using steel brake line you need a really good quality brake flaring tool, if you use copper piping (as I use on my Rovers) the softer metal allows you use a cheap flaring tool - like the one I picked up for $15. I have to do this job on my 97 JGC that's been off the road for 9 years so thanks for the upload.

[@richardf.dossii3900]

that's the cheep flare from OEM reproduction. the double is actual OEM. the metric cuppling is from a repair prolly brought at an autoZone type store.

[@gmoney9588]

You've done a fine job and produced a good flare which is something that is still an art and a hinderance to some , despite their best attempt . If ever anyone would need to deal with running new line and there are different size thread and different flare ( metric versus SAE ) , just use all one flare and join together with a union . In this case , if the short jumper is needed to simplify going through a fender well , the union will make routing tubing from a roll that much easier . Every job is different though . Who expected there to be two different size flares on both ends of an adapter ?

[@johnnylira3312]

I just paid my mechanic to fix my brakes. He charged me $520 to do this. This looks like a pain in the ass!

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Hahaha, at least I could get under this one. I haven't gotten around to doing the civics blown rear line yet, need a lift to make that enjoyable

[@jasondillon4249]

What size is the brake line?

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Should be the standard 3/16

[@jasondillon4249]

Is that 3/16 The whole way? Or is there a different size that connects to that line?

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Should just be one size all the way through

[@susu-mi7kx]

is this for a 2001 grand cherokee laredo too. 3/16

[@NickInTimeFilms]

No idea, but 3/16 is generally the standard size. Google can always confirm

[@AM-rr9xs]

I'm wondering how you keep your XJ semi rust free? mine is going to live in the salt flats very soon, it's rust free except for the usual differentials. should I start putting a 100 layers of paint on it now?

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Good Question, I guess I've been sort of lucky so far. The main things are taking care of water leaks, and coating stuff. I undercoated the top and bottom of the floors to keep them in one piece for a little while longer.

[@mikewhitecotton8551]

My brake line just sprung a leak in the exact same spot. 95 xj. Odd that it occurred on the top side.

[@richardf.dossii3900]

mine too on an 04 Overland... right when I got home. tomarrow gonna be fun.

[@ianbestor1528]

@@richardf.dossii3900 Got an 02 Overland I'm looking at tackling a rusted leak under the driver. Did it work out for you?

[@susu-mi7kx]

So what happened to the smaller piece??

[@NickInTimeFilms]

It was deleted to keep the routing simpler.

[@lakrabid]

The mixture of atf and acetone can be stored for long periods. Best in an hdpe plastic container or glass. Many videos on testing it. One test comparing different penetrants said it took 235 lbs for wd40 versus 53 lbs of torque for acetone ATF mix to bust a rusty nut. Its an old homemade recipe. Seeing all the rusty bolts you have back east it may help a lot. No rust for me in the Socal desert and I cringe when I see vehicles all rusted out.

[@monkeysfly58]

lakrabid ~ do you have to drop the gas tank to change broken brake lines on a jeep Cherokee?

[@derekdavis2770]

Nick dude! Can you make a quick vid on your TPS umbrella you made out of a soda can, I keep going through them like dirty underwear. You are the only guy I've seen make a cover for it. Love the vids man!

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Here ya go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGTUY2Wadtaboskm4s

[@derekdavis2770]

NickInTimeFilms thanks man, don't know how I didn't see that before. I have a 99 so it will have to be cut different but I should be able to make it work.

[@cherylmartin4050]

How about a leak from the wheel cylinder on a 95 YJ?

[@autumnpully5849]

probably gonna have to replace your cylinder if you havent already. Im replacing my cylinders on my xj

[@susu-mi7kx]

thanks for the reply.

[@RDCards]

Thank you for sharing. Going to do this today

[@lakrabid]

Best penetrant is a mix of ATF and acetone.

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Interesting, does the acetone evaporate quickly or does it stay mixed?

[@jeepman012]

Nice job, Thanks for the video.

[@modernday4208]

Hey man great video! I'm glad to see somebody out there doing them with so much detail since most of these kinds of jobs are a pain. I've had some pains in the past bending my own lines, mostly due to operator error on my part or the car I was fixing the last guy did a wack job, so thanks for giving people a good guide! I did end up going with pre-bents (here's the link for anyone curious moderndaymuffler.com/collections/brake-lines-hose-kit/Jeep-Cherokee-1995) just to save myself some time lol. Regardless great job man and ty for the video

[@shineything4444]

scream live version?

[@NickInTimeFilms]

I think it was a Disturbed cover

[@shineything4444]

na the a7x song scream it sounded like the live version lol imo it sounds better than the studio version

[@NickInTimeFilms]

Oh, maybe. It's whatever pandora was feeling

[@shineything4444]

gotcha lol the live version is more alive the studio is dead to me no backround instruments or anything anyways very nice jeep that was had a manual with the straight 6 kind of a rare combo to find as i always find 4 bangers with the manual

[@warscarz5541]

LMAO the bubble flare is to lock in to the reg flare u can't put two reg flare together it won't seal

[@philtrottier4442]

This Jeep is good for the junkyard.

[@jeepxj1434]

I can't express how wrong you are about the brake cylinders they're extremely easy to take off and you don't have to take off the axles at all

[@marklally90]

wow what a pain!

[@steveballard1463]

Thumbs up

[@zx8401ztv]

And now it's time for a brake.. sorry break :)

[@Bigpoipu]

man that jeep is real rust bucket lol....dam was it under water

[@NickInTimeFilms]

+Bigpoi Lee He likes to take it on the beach. It's his "beach buggy." Just wait until you see the next few videos on it, haha

[@Bigpoipu]

oh boy lol..

[@Bigpoipu]

man I have a 92 sport

[@macemarton5744]

next time just leave the old lines in place. run the new stuff along side the old and use zip ties to hold it in place

[@NickInTimeFilms]

That seems a little unprofessional just leaving old parts flopping around. Best to actually use the factory clips

[@ryanx9372]

Lolz...no, just no :P
