where do i get a new brake line for a 2000 silverado?dhughins 10-11-2009, 01:31 PM i broke the line that runs across the rearend from the t on the driver side to the passenger wheel. it's steel and wrapped with coils around it. autozone said to check with the dealer, as today is sunday will have to wait. has any of ya'll had to buy 1? cramer_77 10-11-2009, 10:36 PM your best bet would be just to buy a piece of bulk brake line from the parts store and bend it yourself to put it in. Dealership your gonna pay out the ying yang for a pre-bent line. Your only looking at 10-15 dollars for that line at a parts store plus brake fluid for when you bleed them. another line to check on while your looking at brakes lines is the one that goes from the front to the rear that goes between the gas tank and frame rail. I have replaced those more times than i can count. Pretty sure your truck uses 3/16ths line someone correct me if im wrong. intimadatorsquizz 10-12-2009, 11:59 AM you can't buy that line from the dealer.you'll have to have it made my them or just make it yourself.don't worry about that coiled wire around it you can't get that anyway.it protects the line from rubbing thru.if the new one you makes rubs anything just slit a piece of hose and slip it on the area it will rub. kahjdh 10-12-2009, 12:54 PM 3/16ths across the axle and 1/4 form the abs to the flex line. If you have never flared a line its prob a good idea to let somebody else handle it. dhughins 10-12-2009, 06:36 PM thanks. i'm bending it now and gonna have to try and put it on tomorrow if it will stop raining. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
