Hard Brake Line Replacement. Pre-bent or DIY (what's the specs)?
- Thread starter nobb
- Start date
Hopefully this shows up....
http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k564/Matt_Pickering/brakeAngle.jpeg
This is the part I'm talking about - it's an "L" Junction between two hard lines - this is passenger side wheel well - I was doing the starter and the line started to ooze from being moved. Pretty rusty, so I don't mind replacing it. Just wondering if I can remove that part and just do a bend in the brake line, or if it's serves some function.

Matt,
This looks like what you're looking for??
This elbow should still be available from Toyota, They just replaced it on my Tacoma when they did the frame replacement.. I could only assume that it is the same part from 4Runner to Tacoma??
I'd call Toyota with the part number from the picture?!

Yes, I am replacing that line and the other line going out of the connection. None of the hard lines were available from the dealer, so i'm going to be building them. Hadn't thought of that coil as a functional thing... guess I will duplicate it in my line.

Digging this up because no one has answered this through the whole thread.
It's a double flare, never heard of Japanese flare before.
Use the die that fits into 3/16 line and compress it until it bottoms out on the yoke. Remove the die and compress the line in the yoke again.
Here is a how to link I found.
Know How Notes - How to Make a Double Flare Brake Line
Adding this because it super kool :vader:
Help
Apologies for digging up an old thread. Unfortunately, I just joined and it won't let me post a new thread until I get enough replies posted.
I need help figuring out how the front brake line mounts to what I think is the spindle. I bought the truck used and it's zip tied currently. I'd like to get new hardware and correct this.
I've got a picture below. If anyone has a clear picture of how this mounts, that would help a lot. I can't seem to find a straight on shot and I've search google pretty deeply.
There are unidentifiable clips that I can buy on the toyota parts websites, but none mention the hardware, if it's a bolt and nut or what.
Any help is very much appreciated.

The mounting clip is just a "holder" (works about the same as a ziptie does, relatively speaking). The hardline mates with the flex hose and the clip just holds them there at the joint.
You can see it in this caliper replacement vid at the 1:30 mark. https://youtu.be/641Es-7BuIE?t=1m30s
Here's a straight on pic of mine (just had the calipers/hardline/flexhose replaced).

There is a bracket that bolts on to that triangular mount halfway up the knuckle where the zip tie is (spindle is something else). The bracket has a hole that mates to the flexible brake line and is secured with a clip that looks like a flattened U and engages the groove in the end of the flex line. I may have a pic from my frame swap, if I find it, I'll post.
Did you look at the other side, or are they both that way?
Found some:
The caliper is off in this one, but you can see how the flex line mounts:
You need a bracket for each side:
47351 BRACKET, FLEXIBLE HOSE(FOR FRONT RH)
47351-35270
47352 BRACKET, FLEXIBLE HOSE(FOR FRONT LH)
47352-35310
And a clip for each bracket:
90468-08035
Plus any good little M8 bolt for each bracket.

Rusted Driver Side Rear Outer Hard Brake Line
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
I have been quite successful in using the search function for the past 7-8 years or so but this time I am coming up short, thus my apologies for resurrecting an old thread.
My trusty rusty '02 Sport Ed 4WD with 270k on the odo developed a brake line leak due to heavy corrosion near the fitting on the driver side rear outer hard line (see attached images). Upon confirming with the dealer these hard lines have been discontinued some years ago.
I have not been able to source any aftermarket hard line replacements and wanted to ask for opinion on making my own hard line. Two questions:
1. Has anyone found an aftermarket replacement for a P/N 47323?
2. Can anyone confirm the correct size hard line, fitting and flare, please?
From this forum it appears that the correct size hard line diameter is 3/16, the fitting is M10x1.0. But can anyone confirm the type of flare, please?
Thank you very much all,
Ivan from Traverse City, MI

Hmm. Most have recently discontinued those rear lines as they were available a year or so ago.
Kinda surprising as they can always make more brake lines...
In any case, you now have only 3 options:
1) See if you can get a used non rusted line from a junk yard.
2) Have a new brake line made out of the copper nickle tubing.
3.) Find an aftermarket line mfg. [ I haven't seen to many of these out there because they were always available]

[MENTION=164664]brillo_76[/MENTION], thank you for your input. I will try the local junk yard, however, this area is very heavy on winter salt use, so chances of me finding a non-corroded line are pretty low but it is worth a call.
It seems like the only real option will be to make the line, and that’s where I needed to confirm:
the type of tubing (stainless or copper nickle?)
tubing size (3/16?)
fittings (M10x1.0?)
flare type (double flare?)
Thank you

Have to be from a non rusty junk yard. Yes they are 3/16 double flare.
I just make my own out of nickle copper tubing with stainless steel flare nuts. I get the tubing and nuts off Amazon 10mm ×1.00mm in packs of 10 .
The stop shop stainless steel Metric line invert flare fitting 3/16 tune.

Thank you very much for this useful info. I looked up the fittings and tube at Amazon, seems easy enough... that is until I find out how accessible the line is and how it is actually routed... In looking at it a bit closer I will probably have to replace 47318F hose due to corrosion as well.

You going to have to drop the tank unless you reroute the line. 
Probably more economical to just buy the replacement rubber hose at an autoparts store. As those can collapse internally with age as well.
I done several of these lines. The 2 back ones are the worst only because they go behind the gas tank and Clip on the coil plate.
