Hard brake line that attaches to front calipers

Hello,

I tried searching and came up empty (if I missed something, please slap me and tell me to look again): I would like the replace the short hard brake line that attaches to the front calipers (WH calipers, 2005). It's a shortie, which, on the other end, attaches to the rubber line where it is secured to the knuckle. I'm not sure what it's called or where to get it (a shop had rounded off the 10mm head that screws into the caliper).


Thank you so much for any assistance you can provide.

This is for OEM, I'm forgetting which part # is for which side

4731435320

4731635280

You can also buy this aftermarket one at Advance Auto or Autozone, just have to bend it.

Japanese Poly-Armour PVF Steel Brake Line 3/16 x 8 - AGS Company

For the future, I'd invest in the tools to make your own brake lines, you can make them out of Ni-Cop, which is a way better material than your typical steel lines.

I second everything posted above!

It is hard to beat copper nickel. All of my brake lines are copper nickel now. But the price on those premade lines is really good so if you don't have the tools to make lines go for those.

As far as the rounded 10mm goes... since you are replacing the lines just go ahead and cut the old line out, then try a 10mm 6 point socket. If that won't take it out get an Irwin extractor kit and pound the one for 3/8 & 10mm on there and it will come out. No sense is fighting with a 12point wench when the thing is coming out anyways.

Oem

Just buy the factory lines and call it good, should last a long time until an idiot rounds it off again or over bend it. Just my 2 pennies.

If its just the nuts that are rounded off, just use vise grips and tighten them back down. Its not like you will be in and out more than once every 10 years.

Also a 6 point flare nut wrench is a must on these

Buy a factory carbon steel brake line. Don't waste your time trying to bend, flare, and fit a custom M10 X 1.0mm brake line.

Copper nickel alloy line is great if you're in rust prone areas but it is dead soft! You need to cover the copper line with gravel guard before installing if you want it to last without pinching etc.

Stainless line is best but a pain to bend and flare
Copper Nickel is second best for corrosion and the DIY at home
Carbon line is stock generic with good strength and mild corrosion resistance.

He doesn't mention where he's from, in my area I replace myself with the nickel/copper ones because of rust and I'm cheap. You can borrow the flaring tool from most parts stores. I've replaced almost every line on my truck, that would be costly to do all OEM.

If not in a rust prone area then certainly buy OEM for that little line.
