Default Brake Lines

I have a 98 Blazer with 4 wheel discs, I have a question on replacing the brake lines.

What is the size of the line that is on the rear axle?

Also, what is the best way to replace the line from the ABS module to the rear brake hose?

Thanks

the lines that go side to side on the rear axle are just regular 3/16ths us standard thread brake lines.

Speaking of brake lines anyone try out those new copper ones. Suppose to bend with ease.

I practiced flaring and bending with copper when I first got a flaring tool. it is easier than kunifer or steel.


there seems to be an eternal discussion as to whether copper is up to the job and both sides have convincing arguments


I err on the safe side and go with kunifer.

Yeah that's what it's called Kunifer. Heard it's super easy to work with.
