I bought the disc about 2 years ago and have tried to swap it in. FOr some reason the reas disc brake lines wont work it was leaking fluid so I decided to not swap the damn thing since the lines are different. After 2 years of debating and people NOT BELEIVING me that it wont fit I found a set of brake lines at the j/y and bought it this weekend and decidec to compare the two lines that came from the same model year car. Protege LX 1st gen.
as you can see in the pic the one on the left is the one that fits and the right one didn't.Reason y is because the outlet of the fluid on the right pic was bigger compare to the one on the left. This cause the fluid to leak and didn't have a tight seal.
blurry but u can see the right hole is bigger than the left.
Anyways, the swap was easy likeI said before its just time comsuming. I did repalce my rotors/caliper and pads for the front (stock no $$$) so with that it took me the entire Sunday.
btw. I weight the drum and disc swap. The disc is heavier but only by a .80lbs heavier than the drums. If im not mistaken I think it weighed 25.70lbs.
