OK the 2 real questions today.

1. Best way to do the rear line from the ABS block to the rear.

2. Do ABS lines line up with 929 or do they need adapters.

@codrus do you have a diagram of the abs line routing? And where do you get all your diagrams from, I need that book you always send me pictures of.
Diagram of the brake hard lines or of the wiring?

The wiring diagram is in my ABS build thread. I got it from a friend who has the Alldata service.

I don't have a diagram of the brake lines. It's pretty simple -- two lines from master to prop-valve-shaped-thingey, two lines from there to ABS unit, 3 lines out from there to FL, FR, RR, one line that crosses over from RR to RL.

I got the master-to-prop, prop-to-abs, and abs-to-FR/FL lines from my donor vehicle, they were all pretty simple to install. abs-to-FR was the worst because it needed to snake through all the crap around the intake manifold. It takes a few minutes of staring at them to puzzle out which is which, but it's not that hard.

The rear crossover is identical, you don't need to change it. I'm going to assert that the abs-to-RR line is impossible to install with the motor & tranny in the car -- we wrestled with it for a while before giving up, cutting off the factory line, bending it over to the ABS unit, and flaring the end.

Which book do you mean? I have the Mazda FSM for 99 (that's the brown book that occasionally shows up in photos). There are PDFs of it linked in a sticky thread on mt.net somewhere.

1) The "right" way to do it is to take the motor out, swap the OEM line over, put the motor back in. It's a lot easier to cut/bend/flare.

2) They do not line up, you will need to make custom lines to adapt the 929 master to the ABS "prop valve". I used "cunifer" line from fedhillusa.com at the recommendation of someone I read on some forum, seemed to work well.

Ok good to know. I'll go look at your thread. The line to RR is the only line I don't have.

Guess its just some custom lines.

Just buy the new OEM line from mazda. I did mine with the engine out but you could probably do it with the engine in.

FYI, the hard lines are still hooked to the prop valve and the pump is labeled, so the only line you'll need to guess at is the front to back line. It's an easy guess.
It just goes straight up the passenger side iirc.

For the front-to-rear line? I spent an hour ******* with it before concluding it was never going to happen. Cutting/bending/flaring the non-ABS line took 15 minutes.

Do you have pics of the cut/bend in your other thread?

Did you ever get to scope your abs sensor?

Not detailed shots of the process, no. It's the front-left one in this installed shot:



There's not much to it. Unbolt it from the master, stare at it for 5-10 minutes to decide where it should go, then use your tubing bender to make it go there. Cut with your tubing cutter, put the flare nut on (don't forget this step!), then flare. Screw nut into ABS unit. Done.

No, I haven't had a chance to scope anything yet. Stuff exploded at work, somebody promised a customer an EFT image with a feature in it during "Q4", and that feature doesn't work yet. And it's the holidays. Oh, and did I mention I'm moving on Sunday? Out of a house with 10 years' accumulated crap in it? My life is insane, right now, I'm only reading mt.net because I'm waiting for stuff to compile.

(Sorry, that came out harsher than I intended. I'll scope ABS stuff once I get moved into the new house and have the lift set up )

I can't count the number of times I've flared a line before remembering the nut goes on first.

@yank has benders and flare tools so we're good there. Need to order line. Or just find it locally.

Yeah the rear line. The NB one just dropped right in with some minor adjusting near the firewall and fuel lines. It was easy. And I didnt have to flare anything.

Like $50 bucks after shipping. The price went up substantially since I bought mine. I think they caught on.
