Brake Line sizes?

[zombie112]

Howdy again!

I've been searching for a while, so forgive me if this has been answered, but I'm trying to find out the size of the brake lines for my '05 SE.

I haven't had any issues, but I want to replace them before winter this year.

I measured with a cheap caliper (with dying batteries, because that's all I could find today) and it looks like the lines from the master cylinder to the ABS pump are 1/4", and the lines from the ABS pump to the brakes are 3/16", Does this sound right?

Also - How much fluid is needed? I know I will need extra with flushing the fluid and bleeding, but I'm really not sure how much to have on hand for this.

This is my first time doing any sort of brake line, but I do have a family member helping me who has more experience with this, so I am fairly confident we will be successful.

Correct. 1/4" from the master to the pump, 3/16" for everything else. I'd buy a quart or two of brake fluid.

Thanks! This didn't go well. One of the threads on my abs pump is now stripped. PMing you

Edit -

Still alive and back on the road! Ended up taking to a local mechanic to take care of. Had the wrong thread fittings on the break lines. Living and learning and paying for it lol
