Hard to read. If you need 95 inches, connect 2 60 inch with a union.

Just did mine. I bought 25 foot roll. Got a double lip flare tool and used my old fittings. It looks like it takes about 17 feet. Bleed system. Afterwards I had very little pedal because of air in the ABS module. They recomend taking it to a shop. I followed a persons directions about driving at 15 mph and slaming on the brakes because I had a little stoping. This activates the ABS to move the air. Use parking lot not the road. Then a rebleed is required. Repeat as needed.

You knocked your sensor out of wack, set the gap same as the other side.

It's mounted on a bracket, bend bracket.
At one time there was a TSB on the sensor, rust under the bracket it threw out of line.
