I had some play in my front wheel, so I went in to check the bearing pre-load - found birf soup. BAH! I have an axle re-build in my very near future.

While removing my caliper, found that my flexible line's rubber coating is cracked near the caliper - time for some new flexible lines. The FSM shows non-reusable gaskets for the banjo bolt, which I cannot find the part numbers for - anyone know this number?

Flank.

I have two brand new OEM flex lines I got from Grapevine Toyota last month. I ended up using Slee Stainless for my 97. I paid too much for them; but will give them to you for free if you want them. And I have new banjo bolt and washers.
I’m in Southlake. Looks like you are on the other side of the lake.

DM me if you want these

The copper gaskets are 90430-10074.

IME it's easy to go to partsouq dot com, type in your VIN, then search through the sections. Sometimes it's quicker, once you're on the page for your model, is to click on SEARCH then type in what system or what part.

Ex: Front Brakes pulled up this diagram:

Generally for brake lines the rule of thumb is to not reuse them. In a pinch some people have reused them and not have any leaks and some people
say you can re-anneal them (soften them) by heating them to a dull (but not cherry) red and letting them air cool. But that won't remove any dings or depressions that could cause a leak, so then you could sand them down, etc,etc. In the end you've spent a lot of time so better and safer to just replace them.

IMHO I wouldn't trust even a copper gasket from Amazon or Fleabay sellers as they're likely to be from Chy nuh and very well may not be the same copper alloy as Toyota specifies and not even solid copper at all. Some fake gaskets were found to be just copper washed steel which may not crush/seal properly.
When it comes to safety related auto parts, the risk of getting counterfeit and/or out of spec parts to save a few dollars is just not worth it IMHO.
