Looks like a damn problem to me, and in case you were wondering or not believing your eyes, yes, that is the rear righthand brake line getting grinded off by the CV shaft

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
No wonder I lost brake line pressure today

Another example why a thorough inspection by a qualified mechanic is always a good idea.
I am very glad this did not cause an accident or injury,,, but it certainly could have.

the fact that this happened right after a specialised mechanic changed the CV boots makes it even more ironic

this is a common problem….I see this alot on H1’s in the shop, I ultimately replace with flexible lines.

looking at the halfshaft bolt, doesn’t look like that shaft has been off? And if it was…they reused the fasteners.

I am sure I will get yelled at for asking but do you have any idea on the after market part number or whatnot? I installed my own rigid tube but apparently the wrong flare. I would prefer a flexible line and of course one that is the correct flare that I don't have to over tighten to stop from dripping.

RWH sells the flexible lines IIRC. Ask me how I know.

57k3503 is an amg kit with flex lines. Do your homework as I do not know all the details for this kit nor have purchased/installed....
but a reputable epay seller I have bought many items from has it listed reasonable:

Hey RWH, do you have any information about your kit or any opinion on the Ebay one listed above? I need some. I've seen someone else post about a braided kit they had made too.

This thread was started about a BASIC truck which has rigid lines, YOUR truck is an A2 which already has flexible lines, as pointed out before all you need to do is order the few parts that are missing, no need to reinvent your brake system, the reference picture and parts list has already been provided for you.
I am not yelling at you, you are just not listening.
That kit listed on Fleabay is to convert a Basic/A1 truck to A2 brake lines which you already have.

Just PM me…seems you have violated some BS rule about asking a question that someone else was somehow forced to answer?
But woke them from their slumber perhaps…

Yeah I took my system apart several months ago and I have a lot going on so I don't remember what it looked like. Some of it was missing also. Thank you
