2001 C240 Driver side rear Brake Line
Anyone have any experience in the replacement of the Drivers side rear metal brake line? Does the line run from the flex line to the master cylinder in one piece?

Post your VIN for the correct part number and remember all lines and fittings are metric flare(tool) or you will have leaks all over the place!!

Does the metal brake line run from the flex Brake hose on the caliper to the master as one piece? or is their a junction somewhere behind the fuel filter or above the rear foot well? Thanks!

Coupler
Thanks!
that's very helpful, I still don't know if the coupler is behind the fuel filter or somewhere behind the plastic piece for the foot well.
the line that is leaking is the rear line

Well now that the brakes are fixed maybe someone can help me with my next challenge!
The radiator fan comes on as soon as the car is started and the service coolant is displayed on the dash, local shop says the ECU is shot but a few posts I have read here state that that is very very rare. Thoughts?
