ok well im doing a wheel cylinder change on thursday and i think i got everything down except 1 more question,i was reading the haynes manual and it says when i take the brake line off i need to plug it immediately to pervent contamination and fluid loss...what am i sopposed to plug it with???

 

You don't necessarily have to "plug" it, you can wrap a rag around it so that no dirt or dust get into it, and the rag will help catch any drippings.

edit: because you should change your brake fluid also.

 

change the brake fluid? ..in the manual it just says to bleed the line and top the brake fluid up, and if i use a rag wont it start to seep through or what about the lint stuff on the rag,it might get mixed in with the fluid?

sorry its just my first time doing somthing with the brakes on my own and i want to make sure i do it right

 

use a little plastic sandwich bag, and ziptie it onto the end.

 

If you're changing the wheel cylinders, it's also a good idea to change the flush out the old brake fluid and replace it with new.

When I said just wrap a rag around the ends, that's after you have most of the fluid drained and there might be a few drops left for the rags to catch. If you're worried about lint, just do like sacs suggested and use a baggie (smoke the contents first though).
