OEM Extended Brake Lines w/ part numbers (1 Viewer)

[CycloSteve]

Just pulled the trigger on going with the OEM replacements via CDan.

I replaced my brake pads front and rear this last weekend, and noticed that the OEM hoses were starting to look like they were degrading after 14 years and 160,000 miles. Though they did not have any cracks, there was a surface "clear coat" which was flaking-off...easy enough to remove with simple green and a tooth brush. Definitely no cracks in the rubber itself after cleaning them. I run SS lines on my on-road rigs, but felt that OEM rubber would be better than worrying about steel braid abrasion as noted above.

With brakes, I take no chances.

One tip passed on to me when I did the new, extended OEM brake line replacement was to use a vaccum cap on the hard line to keep all the fluid from draining out why you take your time swapping soft lines. Bleeding was still a SOB, but the lines worked well!

 

[CycloSteve]

Replaced the lines which went pretty well, other than two of the fittings being PITA's to thread into the new lines. Looks like someone over-torqued them before. A little massaging to the hard-line fitting, and they finally threaded without any further problems.

Actually the bleeding went pretty easily. Even did it on my own with an "OEM" brand one-man brake bleeder. It would have been faster with help, but the tool did the job brilliantly.

The fluid in the lines was beyond shot. I replaced it completely, and bled more than a quart through the system to be sure all of the crap was gone. The LSPV had the worst looking fluid I have ever seen in any vehicle I have ever owned. Doubtful that it has been bled in many, many years.

Interesting about your hard lines having been over torqued, I found the same on mine. I wasn't sure if the hard lines should be replaced (just the shorties between the soft lines) but so far no problem. I replaced all the soft lines and like the way they can be clocked into position. Thanks again Dan

Has anybody tried these lines on a 93-94? IIRC Dan said the 93-94 uses different lines than the 95+

Any update on this? I am looking to order soon for my 93. TIA

ttt any update for 93-94?

The lines work on a '94. I recently installed them. The only problem is that the front PS (if I remember correctly) does not fit into the retaining clip. I had to open up the hole on the bracket and find my own c-clip, if that makes sense.

Excellent, if you do find the time pics would be great.
thanks

A friend used two Corolla brake lines and joined them to the OEM which resulted on long brake line, he spent $22.00.

That's OK for a trail fix! IMHO I would rather have one line than several spiced together! Brakes are just something that you can't put a price on...

actually some older toyota car applications, the front brake hoses are two pieces, joined together where they attach to the strut.

As long as the splice point doesn't get caught on anything it should be fine. Yes, there is a bit more weight to sway around...

I will try to take a few picts later today

Here is a pict. The line normally fits into a recess in the bracket. However, the front PS line does not have the same shape as the hole in the bracket. I opened it up with a step drill and found my own c-clip to fit. The only bummer with this method is that the line will rotate when you tighten But, other than that seems to work fine.

 

[40TUDE]

thanks for the pic!

I have an idea, for us with earlier model trucks. Is it possible that we could just use the bracket off of a 95-97 truck, then everything would work as OEM intended? I have no idea what this bracket looks like or if it could just be bolted in right where our current bracket is. Maybe there is a picture somewhere.
thanks

 

[1FZj80]

might work. post up if you sort it out as i might do the same thing

Anyone else find a way to do this?

I got off the phone with Dan and it seems a lot of part numbers in the brake line changed over in 95. I wasnt gutsy enough to pull the trigger on the two frame-axle extended T100 OEM lines without verification that everything is operationally hunky-dory for a 94.

1FZj80, how long have you had your new extended lines in for? Any line rubbing from the modified bracket? I may end up doing similar.

[edit: forgot, Dan said further up river of this bracket, at the next bracket I believe(?), he said the part numbers converge again. So theoretically you could replace everything downriver of that point with 95-97 and you would be golden.]

Has anyone used these part numbers recently? Current cost?

Yes, I have them in stock.

Price change has been negligible.
