deankxf 20,288 Posted May 20, 2018 if there is enough length still on the line(probably is) you can just put a new nut and have it flared on the end also.. (cut off with hack saw etc) i've had that done before when i've fitted E series diffs to XE XF before the adapter was known about(fitting X series nuts on E series brake line to the T hose block) was probably $10 for the nuts and flares done 3 jca25, Free.51 and Outback Jack reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Free.51 2,717 Posted May 21, 2018 I rang up highway clutch and brake & they dont work on cars just a wholesaler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deankxf 20,288 Posted May 21, 2018 thought they must retail also, as i bought the clutch from there and had my drums and discs and flywheel machined and shoes rebonded and radius ground... although, i know someone who works/worked there.. so next bet has to be an ABS brake joint would be my next stop..

gregaust 319 Posted May 26, 2018 Good result . So the old hose was blocked once you removed it ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Free.51 2,717 Posted May 26, 2018 I didnt check it when i took it off i just saw fluid dripping out the hardline & was excited, im guessing the flex hose was blocked cos it was bone dry at both ends & i did the job at my brothers cos my trolley jack is fucked too now & i just threw it in the bin 1 deankxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
