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.

looking at this you have to just replace the brake line.
for a better fit use a double flare tool ,and make your own. this way you will have a correct routing of the lines. the brake lines shoulkd have new fittings to go with the replacement line. I usually buy at 25 ft rolls. this is cheaper.. if the old fittings are not rusted these can be reused..
your asking of those couplings I don't know exactly what the purpose is but,,, I would guess it is more than coupling 2 lines together...just leave them..
