- 2002 V6 XLT
My 2002 V6 XLT explorer suddenly developed a soft brake pedal. I traced it to a bad brake fluid leak from the rear passenger brake line. I cant see the leak but it seems to be coming from high were the brake line bends around the frame. Its a short line about 4 to 5 feet long from the brake hose to a valve above the rear diff.
Had trouble finding replacement online. one dealership had a prebent line for about $100.
Autozone has 8 ft brake line for $8 but I would have to bend it and flare it.
If I try the autozone rt what is the correct diameter? When I unplug it from the valve I want to plug the line at the valve. What size bolt would plug it?
Would appreciate any advice and if anyone knows if I can get a prebent line somewhere for a goog price. Thanks
