Brakes

One last bit of advice: get some some line wrenches to fully support the flare nuts during disassembly. They can make the difference between success and failure.

Also this Vice Grip tool, which many people swear is the Holy Grail of brake line tools:

Well the brake action compensator does NOT have the 2 lines running to it. Not sure what happened here now, did someone try to by pass the compensator and run different lines?? Now im lost

Some photos of your rear brake lines and the compensator would help

First, photo bucket isn't working and is worthless unless you now want to pay hundreds of $ a year for their service. Lots of posts here about alternatives.

Second, if there isn't a line going into and out of your compensator then it is clearly not in the circuit. There is a hose coming off a central hard brake line a little over midway back under the car. Where does it go from there?

That line goings into a junction and then 2 lines go to the rear calipers on the other side of the junction.
