Okay, so my 5-lug conversion is almost complete. To swap the rear, I bought a complete axle out of a '95 v6. I swapped everything over (axles, anti-moan brackets, caliper mounts, dust shields, the works). now I'm facing the issue of connecting the rear hard lines that are there to the softlines that came w/ the axle. From what I'm seeing, I need to cut the existing hardline off about an inch, bend it, put on the nut, flare it,and mate it to the bracket and softline that I've got from the '95 axle. Is there another way?? Can I just swap the whole hardline setup from the other axle?? The ONLY problem I see w/ that is that the softline from the body runs down behind the differential on the '87, but the '95 axle had the softline coming down in the middle of the passenger side tube. The bracket that sits where on the passenger side currently looks like it contains the axle breather. What's up w/ this?? I know somebody can help me out. Thx.
