Hey guys what is the easiest way to replace the rubber brake line that goes from the frame cross member to the valve on the rear axle? Any tips or tricks that I should know about?

I just replaced all my rusted (dissolved - and dumped the fluid) steel lines and rotten rubber lines using parts (stainless lines and such) from inlinetube.com and they fit perfectly. That line came with the proper block, with the correct hole drilled to remount it to the rear housing. Correct threads, angle of flare, etc. That line will take 10-15 minutes and bleed system time.

Still need to bleed the system with this change, and I flushed fluid and replaced my calipers and wheel cylinders as well. Should be good for another 20+ years if all goes well.

Prompt shipping and competitive prices from inlinetube.com, plus good humans on the phone to help and order.

How do I get the old line off? Does it bolt or screw into that crossmember? And how do I get it off of the that valve thats on the axle?

Line goes through the c/member and has a clip, like the front ones.
The tube that the vent hose goes on is actually a hollow bolt that holds the line.
The line goes on one way only - it has 2 different size fittings.

Does it pry out of the valve or does it just unscrew?

The hollow tube unscrews from the diff - there's a spot to put a wrench.
Look at "new to me lowered 92" there's a picture, you can see where a wrench goes.
