Brake Lines

[Chris_911]

I'm in the process of refreshing the brakes on my 88 3.2 Carrera. I've come to the conclusion that I need to buy some new rear calipers ('inner' piston on both seems to be very 'stiff', with inside face of both discs also in poor condition). I know I can rebuild but would rather save the hassle.

Working on the car today it looks as though the rigid brake line attached to the caliper will not come off without shearing the line itself. I've also got some new braided hoses and am expecting the same problem when trying to undo the rigid line fittings at the ends of the existing flexible hose.

What's my best option to get some new rigid lines? I note from my Porsche parts catalogue that the lines I need are listed with part numbers. Is the dealer the best option? I have no tools to make up new lines.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received - including any sources of new or reconditioned rear calipers.

Thanks!

Take your old line to your local friendly garage and get them made up for a lot less than buying Porsche parts.

Also considering sending your calipers off to get refrubished and again save yourself money. Check out http://www.ddk-online.com/phpBB2/viewto ... ht=caliper
