One of the rear brake lines the runs under the drivers side of the car has rusted through and is leaking. I went to Autozone today and they have 51 insh straight lines. I took them. I did not put them in yet The parts guy suggested that the local Chev dealr can get the exact ones I need (pre-formed) for not much more than the "DIY" straight ones.
Does anyone know if in fact a dealer can get these rear lines pre-formed? ANd if so, what they cost? It is well worth my money to get them if they are plug and play (with a little bleeding).
I am going to call the local Chev dealer tomorrow.
Also, these are the original lines that came with the car (I bought it brand new). What are the large cylinders that look like giant couplers that the lines go into. Are they anything special? Or just big couplers.
Thanks.

PS> I am doing BOTH of the runs that run parallel. The second one is goging to go soon I am sure.

dont think you'll have any luck getting a prebent line.the straight lines you bought are not hard to work with.i've done a few recently not a hard job.as far as really big couplers,not sure what your looking at.there is connectors on rear axle to split right/left wheels,a metering valve up front??
