Brake Line, emergency situation help needed - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Levitan · 06-24-2022, 01:32 PM

I'm out of state for work and I have a concerning situation on my hands

I have a '99 limited, the right rear brake line, from the pumpkin to the passenger side rear wheel is leaking. Nobody in town has the factory steel line.

Does anybody know what the length of the line is, the diameter of the line, and what threads I need?

I found a parts store that has sticks of brake line. Just need to make sure I'm getting the right one.

I appreciate you, big time

Here's a link to the Toyota brake line parts for a 1999 4Runner Limited. I had to guess on the driveline

Nickel Cooper lines around 24 inches with 10mm x1.0 threads. The nickel copper will not rust and easy to bend to make it fit your application.

I appreciate you!

One thing I discovered. Do NOT use Metric Japanese threads. The first stick I bought, Auto Zone,/Advance Auto, was code PAJ ***, Japanese metric.
PA*** was the correct code. No big deal. Took 2 trips to the parts store. Oh, and the threads in the brake cylinder stripped out. Less than ideal. Got the job done and the 'Yota is back on the road.

You have to watch as a metric thread in the auto parts store can be different. I think there maybe a few different thread pitches is why.
