    Another Rear Disc question...

    So after reading a ton of what I need to do in order to do this there are some outstanding questions I have.

    I have a 1991 Wagon and pulled the rear disc assemblies and sway bar from a 92 EX donor that had ABS. I cut the ABS wire and cut the 2nd set of hardlines when removing the assembly.

    Do I need to have that second set of brake hardlines (closest to the chassis) or am I okay without it?

    Also, what am I suppose to do with the ABS sensor? Just remove the sensor? Do i need to fill in the gap with anything (jb weld)?

    There were plenty of parts at the junk yard i went to so no problem getting more parts if necessary.

    There is no "2nd set of hard lines" with ABS. Just your usual brake line and the ABS sensor wire. The wire may have a protective shield over it which looks like a brake line.

    So just get rid of the ABS related things. Wire, sensor and you're done. No need to fill any holes, they will fill with dirt after a while. You may want to put the bolts in the sensor holes if you don't want dirt collecting in there after time.

      Cool on the abs sensor.

      The second set of hardlines I was referring to was when it comes off the chassis. So from the caliper > hardline > rubber hose > hardline > chassis. I did not mean a 2nd set of brake lines dedicated to abs, but my bad for not clearly stating what I meant.

      Do I need that hardline that goes up under the chassis area (the ones I cut) or am I good with just the rubber hose and hardline that connects to the caliper?

          I think you may be confusing "hardline" with "rubber hose"... for rear discs, the lines go as follows:

          Caliper > Rubber hose > Hardline coupler > Rubber hose > Chassis hardline.

          Rear drums only have:

          Piston > Rubber hose > Chassis hardline

          So when you remove the drums, you need to remove the entire rubber line, that leads all the way up the trailing arm and mounts to the body (need to remove a clip) Then you replace all that, with the two new rubber lines (which are connected to each other, by way of a short hardline coupler a few inches long)

          You said you cut the hardline closest to the chassis - does this mean you saved the entire rubber sections? If so, you should be good.

          If you cut any of the rubber lines, unfortunately you need them all. Now would be a good time to order a set of cheap Stainless Steel brake lines

            AH~ Sweet. Yes I did cut the hardlines (not rubber) at the chassis, so I do have everything I need. Unbolted the clip and all from the donor, so all I should need to do is screw in the current drum brake chassis hardline.

            Thanks for the help!
