Alright, going to try and keep this simple. Car has 160k miles on it and the rear left hub/bearing finally took a crap on me so I replaced it. As you can imagine, the hub was rusted in the bracket pretty good so it took a BFslidehammer and alot of banging to get it out. Little did I know the back of the drum was also rusted on the hub so when the hub finally decided to break loose, the back of the drum went with it.

Well, as luck may have it, his pulled the hardline to the brakes (the one that goes from the softline to the back of the drum) and due to the rust on this line, it decided to break in half at the nut.

Well, now im stuck. I went to the auto parts store to get a brake line and bend it myself. Well turns out this brake line has two different flarings/fittings from one end to the other so the auto parts store doesn't carry it.

I believe the only options I have are to go to the dealership and see if I can get this part or get one made from inlinetube.com (which happens to be only miles away from my house).

Do you guys think the dealership could order this line pre-bent and ready to go?

I cant be the only one who has ever had to ruin this line???? Anybody have any help out there?

Thanks again,
Dods

I discovered I need this same part that runs from the hose to the wheel cylinder. It just sprung a leak from rusting out. Big puddle of brake fluid around my rear wheel. Only $22 from the dealer. I thought that was reasonable.
I cut the line on the old one just so I could get a 10mm socket, and an impact, on the fitting going to the hose. My flare nut wrench wasn't doing it.
