Explorer North Face brake block

[Explorer Ron]

Hi, I am trying to buy a replacement rear passenger side brake block system for my 1999 Ford Explorer. This part has a small block and 3 hoses coming from it. One hose goes to the brake calliper. Can anyone help by letting me know where I can buy one?

My Explorer is failing its MOT on this.

Thanks,

Ron

any auto parts store should have this part. rear flex line. if the metal "block" is all you want (assuming the rubber hose can be disconnected from it) salvage yard.

If you mean the rear n/s flexible then you can get on from www.rockauto.com or try www.usautomotive.co.uk or even www.ebay.co.uk .

Thanks for your guidance, I will try all these. I tried local Ford dealer and their diagram did not really show it. Hopefully I will find the part.

I think this is the part that you want. It is the rear left hand hose

 

[Explorer Ron]

Yes, that looks like it, with another hose also connecting in. My local autoparts store has said they can make up the hoses if I take the parts in. Do you know if all hoses disconnect from the block?

Thanks

AutoZone lists this part for $19.99. Why make it? I DO NOT believe the rubber hoses disconnect from the block. They usually don't, all one piece.

Brakeware/Brake Hose - Rear Part Number: 78330
Warranty: 1 YR
Notes: May require hose lock replacement, part number H1457A

edit: RockAuto shows 4 different manufacturers $14-$19

That is how it comes. The cross axle metal pipe connects into the central block. I got mine via rockauto. If you use express delivery you can get very quickly. (ordered Friday night and was delivered Monday morning).
