My MK4 R32 restoration project

A blog about my VW MK4 Golf R32 restore project.

Replacing the rear brake line

Because all of the brake lines from the ABS pump to the callipers broke when disconnecting them, I had to go and replace them all.

Last but not least, was the rear drivers side brake line. This was a pain since the brake line runs down the passenger side, over the fuel tank and then to its rightful place.

Lowering the fuel tank wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.

New parts ordered from TPS:

  • Fuel tank straps
  • Fuel tank bolts
  • Heat shield nuts and washers
  • Fuel filter
  • New clip washers for the heat shield
  • New rubber spacers for the brake line
