I assume you want to replace the steel lines, but while you are at it check the rubber lines as well. I try to use rubber caps to plug the lines going to the master cylinder if possible, in order to keep some fluid in the MC. This makes bleeding the system much easier, especially if your car has ABS. Disconnect the line closest to the MC which you do not intend to replace, or from the MC itself, and quickly plug the line to the MC. Use the removed line to fashion a replacement by bending the new line to match the old one. Using a tubing bender makes this fairly simple. If you must cut the new line to length, you must use proper tools to create a new "double flare" end. Once all is installed, connect the MC insuring it is full of fluid. Start bleeding the wheel furthest from the MC first, keeping an eye on the fluid level in the MC to make sure no air enters the system. Repeat on other wheel. Go back to first wheel and do again just to be sure, same with second. Tighten all bleed screws, top up fluid, check feel of brake pedal and test drive.

How do i replace front brake hoses on 94 ford ranger

Here is a good forum to find your answer.
http://www.fordrangerforum.com/exterior-tech/88010-brake-line-hose-replacement-94-xlt-2-dr.html

A few few things to remember: Purchase fresh new brake fluid and have a clean MityVac pump (both can be purchased through AutoZone, NAPA, Orielys, etc..) , plenty of clean rags, brake line clamps to stop the fluid from leaking when you initially pull the line off.
Be prepared to bleed ALL the brakes after changing the lines. When bleeding the brakes (after replacing the old lines) work from the caliper that is the longest distance from the brake master cylinder first to the shortest distance line.

!996 Chevy Astro AWD pulls to the left when braking , I have replaced Both front calipers, rotors, and pads bled the brake lines and still it will pull to the left MOST OF THE TIME! when i least expect...

Check front end steering linkages for any play, as well as rear brakes for sticking or grabbing as well. Not unusual for a rear brake grabbing, to cause front end to want to wander.

Brake line leak

start from the farthest, right rear, left rear, right front, then left front, take some time in bleeding your left front since it has more air induced during line replacement. good luck!

Unable to bleed front brakes

loosen the front brake line that goes to the master cylinder fill master cylinder up with fluid and bleed it first by attaching a flexible line from master cylinder front brake side submerge that line into jar of brakefluid keeping air from entering line get someone to pump brake pedal while ur holding line in a jar keep refilling the brake resivoir so no air gets in, once the master is bled front brake side then reattach the origional brake line then remove bleed screw from caliper and let fluid gravity flow down to calliper then bleed the normal way. more than likely your master cylinder has air trapped in the front portion good luck
