98 TJ Brake Lines....
 

Hi,
I need to replace my brake lines on my 98 TJ due to heavy rust. Has anyone
done this? Not sure if the nuts on the valve below the master cylinder are
metric or sae. I'd like to get this done without hitching a ride to the
parts store to match up brake line nuts or hunt for adapters. Thanks.

I can't imagine the rust you must have to require replacement of the brake
pipes.

They are unbelievably bad. Very heavy road salt here in New York. Not just
surface rust, these things are flaking and very pitted along most of their
lengths. The line to the rear actually broke already. I was in a bind and
out of town and had to pay a shop. I didn't think at that time to ask if the
fittings were metric or SAE. I'll guess I'll just have to remove them and
bring them to the parts store to size them up. I hate starting a job like
that without having the parts in hand though.

When I got my CJ7 it was just over 10 years old and the rust on the body
alone was terminal, let alone the brake lines. There was no metal
structure left at all to repair to. It already had new body skins, but
there was literally no metal left under it, only fiberglass and tar.
