Remove the old and more than likely the parts store will have lines with fittings that match , once you maneuver the old out use it to bend the new in the same shape . The brake lines will come in 10" increments ie. 12" 20" 30" 40" 50" & 60" You'll have to plug the open abs port so that all the fluid doesn't spill out , then there''s the bleeding . This all will be a P.I.T.A. make no mistake .

Newer ABS modules require a pressure bleeder and scan tool to properly bleed air out. Not sure if that's required on an older car like yours, but I would think it might. Replacing the lines is pretty straightforward, the only tricky part will be bleeding that ABS module.

Right , on that car you need a special scan tool to bleed the ABS unit properly . I'll ad that the peddle on my 2002 lesabre goes almost to the floor and I've tried most everything to get it to stiffen up .They say it's the nature of the beast ..
