Bonneville Brake Line Install By MindsetAutomotive
If you're a classic sedan owner looking for replacement brake lines, chances are LinesToGo has the hard-to-find set you're looking for. In this post we'll take a look at a Pontiac Bonneville install by YouTuber MindsetAutomotive. After experiencing severe brake failure on his modified Bonneville, he decided it was time to find out just what had gone wrong, and get it fixed the right way.
Diagnosing The Issue
After a quick check under the car, it was clear that the issue was with the brake lines. A large puddle of brake fluid had pooled under the car, and the brake lines looked seriously corroded. Corrosion is a big problem when it comes to brake lines - which is why quality replacement lines matter. Our lines are made from Galfan® coated steel or 304L stainless steel - learn more about them here.
There was also evidence of a previous partial brake line repair which had been done poorly - and was most likely the cause of the new leak. It was routed incorrectly, zip-tied and held on with electrical tape, so it was no surprise that he experienced brake line failure. Clearly a replacement of the rusted brake line was needed.
Ordering Brake Lines From LinesToGo
To avoid any future issues, he decided to install a full replacement set of brake lines from LinesToGo. Ordering the correct part is also a simple process, as LinesToGo offers a quick and easy product finder that ensures you get the right components for your vehicle the first time.
Installing The Brake Lines
Every set of LinesToGo brake lines also comes with comprehensive brake line replacement guides as well as helpful install videos for many different makes and models. This makes it a great DIY brake line install option. After removing the old, corroded lines, it was time to install the new lines.
Removing the shipping bends is easy, thanks to the LTG labels on each section, and the perfect pre-bent line design meant that fitment was as simple as possible.
"Bent to perfect shape for my Pontiac, so everything lined up well."
After replacement, a quick test drive showed that everything was back to normal.
Pro Tip: Have several wrench sizes handy to easily manipulate the varying sizes of nuts you'll encounter on your brake lines.
