brake lines

How much steal brake line am I going to need to replace the e brake line? Or for that matter, if anyone knows, how much to just do all of the brake lines? I may do them all while I've got the car up and the tools out, but I have to do the e brake line for sure because car inspection is next month.

you know the ebrake and the regular brakes are two different things right?

when u step on the brake pedal the fluid runs through the rubber brake lines to all 4 wheels.

when u hit the ebrake it pulls a cable/wire and the rear brakes clamp down....different from the rubber brake lines you're talking about.
to do the ebrake cable...you gotta call up your local dealer and get the part. the cable starts behind the exhaust heat shield in the middle.

brake lines...IE braided brake lines..that's an aftermarket part...looking at $150 or so..maybe less.

Yeah, I know how the brake system works, I've worked on it before.

I didn't even need to know costs. Just how much total length of cable we use on our cars.
