Can someone tell me the difference in the doors of a 98 XJ 4 door,
and the doors of the 96 and older 4 doors.
I have compared photos of each side by side and can not tell any
difference.
My 98 doors are in poor condition, and I have found several older
model xjs with good body parts, that I can buy the complete vehicle.
thanks,,

Latch design, window, interior trim/door depth. At some point, hinges. Mirrors, but those are a bolt-on swap.

2. Remove the screw that you see your photo.
3. PB away.
4. Vice grip the top portion as close as you can to the bracket without being on the tube
5. Wrench the bottom and turn away.
You should have no problem. The vice grips are going to leave teeth marks, but it will come a part and it should be fine enough to connect new hoses with no prob

Its so tight the entire bracket and line wanted to turn with vice grips. For now im going to leave the line for a couple days till i can figure out my options. I just want the damn thing to be able to stop on its own. It has no pressure so im trying to get that all situated. Btw the hose isnt leaking in the pic thats penetrating oil.
Side question:
Since i have to use opposite parta for the calipers, would i also have to buy opposite lines that autozone offers?
Also, what type of fitting is that brake line? Bubble flare, single or double flare?

Lines should be the same. Double flare.
You need to hold the other side while turning with the vise grips. Only problem I see with using vise grips, you can crush the nut since it's hollow. Not a problem if you're buying new, but if you're reusing, it can become a problem.

This isn't a question, but since we're on the topic of brakes.
Have any of you back bled the system? I started doing it this way a while back on customers bikes and it is a hell of a lot easier than pumping. I bought a 60cc syringe on ebay, used for catheders. Works like a charm. Not sure how it will work on ABS systems though.
Just a thought, for when you're having a hard time bleeding the system.
It can be a pain in the rump when trying to bleed rear brakes on bike when the MC is on the bottom of the frame.

If you reverse run fluid through an abs module it will occasionally think"there is a leak here, I should lock out that brake line". Causing locked brakes as soon as pressure is applied.
If abs is involved. For safety I would never reverse bleed the system.
Personal experience tells me thia. Not guesses
