Front brake line, need help finding right part
Front brake line, need help finding right part
I replaced my wheel cylinders with the GM ones yesterday, and ended up blowing my left front brake hose when doing the brake check.
It is a braided steel line I bought about four years ago, and had rubbed through the vinyl protector I put on...to protect from the bracket. It has a lifetime warranty, but wouldn't you know it, Goodrich isn't open on the weekend.
I went and bought a replacement from Schucks to get me through the week, but it isn't the correct part. My brake hose has a side fitting that screws in to the upper connection...the replacement does not. What is the correct part number? The guys at both AZ and Schucks are clueless. Of course, NAPA is closed today...

Well, Napa had the correct hose in stock yesterday, so I was able to install it last night. Unfortunately, both bleeders for the front brakes are stripped out, and I was only able to bleed the drivers side. There's definitely still air in the system, so one more day without my truck...
napa sells bleed screws separate from the caliper... they're about $5 each.
What part number did you end up with for the stainless lines? I have to replace my hoses this week and I'd rather go to a stainless line that a rubber one... If you have it, I'd like the part number for both front and the rear hose that leads down to the axle (between the hardlines)...

I replaced the bleed screws today, it's nice to have my truck back...
As far as the braided steel lines, I bought them through tirerack.com. They still sell them, they were about 110 a set for the two fronts, and one rear.
You may have to call tirerack, because I only see the 4 wheel abs kits on their site now, and my invoice doesn't have a part number on it.
