hey guys im taking off the rear brakes off my 95 integra ls and i need help taking off the lines. here are some pixs.

 

use lots of penetrating oil or heat up the parts and then try to lossen them. it if is a very high milage car, then most likely you are going to have to replace the steel lines anyways as they have a tendancy to break.

 

can some one give me some links on "how to" do it please!!?

 

which lines do you need to take off????

e brake cable?

or are you talking about the brake hose?

or the steel lines????

which ones do you need help on? what are you trying to do? replace the lines?....

 

im trying to take off the whole rear brake off my 1995 integra, but the brake lines wont come off.

 

Brake line @ the fenderwell:
10mm flare-nut wrench. You can use a standard open-end 10mm, but there is a greater risk of stripping the nut.

Then use a set of lockjaws or pliers to remove the horseshoe retainer clip...just wiggle and pull towards the outside of the car. Use a hammer (and screwdriver to assist) on installation.

Brake Line @ caliper:
Use a 12mm or 14mm socket to remove the banjo bolt on the back of the caliper.

Remove the caliper and separate the parking brake cable by removing another horseshoe clip, pulling the pin and pushing the dowel pin up/out. Then remove the brake caliper bracket from the hub.

ABS sensor wire:
I've never done this part before, but there are (3) 10mm bolts that secure the sensor to the hub. Oh, and if you're no longer going to use the rear ABS sensors, then they disconnect somewhere in front of the rear subframe....probalby under the rear seat.

Just start taking stuff apart....it'll all come to you. just remember where everything goes.

if you need to remove the e brake cables:

@ the caliper:
trace the ebrake cables to the calipers, you will see a cotter pin....remove the cotter pin, and just pull that "screw" out (looks like a flat head screw but its not really a screw, no need to turn it, just pull out) then trace a bit back and remove the horseshoe clip...(like the clip between the steel lines to the rubber hose).....then the cable should just slide out

@ the ebrake lever:
remove the covers...losen the brake equalizer (where both cable is connected to) then remove that metal piece that holds down the cables (looks like = n_n) then pull the rubber sealing pieces...(a little wd40 would help)

then just trace the cables and unbolt the clips......you may need to remove the heat sheld.....

ps....when taking off the rubber hose.....USE A FLARE NUT WRENCH! don't just use a open end wrench.....you can strip that nut really bad!
