I just installed one of these bypass hoses - this is a great design and very well built!

FYI, this is some very inexpensive insurance against running the xfer case dry. I was shocked at how much fluid came out of my transmission when I opened the FILL plug! Then after refilling everything, I drove it for about 100 miles before installing this bypass hose - in that short amount of time the level had noticeably dropped in the xfer case as I had to top it off...

The 12.75 hose fit my '83 FJ60 perfectly (YMMV, apparently - always measure before ordering) and I couldn't be happier with the quality, fast shipping, etc.
 
In the next week or so I will be ordering some more hoses. I do have both sizes in stock now.

If you need a size other than the stock sizes of 12.75” and 17.5” Center of Banjo bolt to center of Banjo Bolt, now would be a good time to order. If you order a non standard size alone my vendor charges almost double. If you have a non stock set up and want these teflon heat resistant hoses with a Stainless Steel braided outer sleeve please do it with this order.

PM me if your interested.

Use a rope or electric extension cord so its stays rigid. Measure center of plug to center of plug. The standard for Toyota plugs on transmission and transfer case is M18x1.5. If yours is a pipe thread youll have to get an adapter as banjo bolts are not made in pipe threads because of the taper of the thread. Ebay has the 1/2 pipe to M18x1.5 adaptors.

Not sure if a PO retapped your plug holes? Hold a straight edge to the side of your plug if its has an angle its pipe.

PM if you have questions. Ive seen a lot of different things PO’s have done and can help you figure a solution.

Ive sold over 400 hoses to cruiser heads. Yep replacing seal is the fix. But did the guy rebuilding your case put the case back together with grooves in the shaft from where the seal rides? The hose is just cheap insurance and the stainless steel braided hose resist the heat from the exhaust pipe that runs close to the hose.
